The downside to Carbonite is the backup time. They throttle your upload rate, starting at 2Mbps, down to 512kbp safter 35GB, and again down to 100kbps after 200MB. I'm about 170MB into a 230MB backup, started the day after Christmas, and probably have 6 weeks left. I'm curious as to whether 100kbps will even keep up with my ongoing changes - it'll take 5-6 days to backup an average weekend photo shoot.
I don't see many options at a better price/GB rate. I may need to trim my RAW files being backed up and count on my DVD backups.
