I too have subscribed to iDisk. I really like it. I mostly use
iDisk to get files to people that are too big to e-mail. I use a
program called FileChute http://www.yellowmug.com/filechute/ which
make this really easy for the recipient of the files. Basically, the
recipient gets an e-mail with a link (that can be disguised as to not
show the path to your "server" (iDisk)) When they click on the link,
the file is automatically downloaded. It is designed to work with
iDisk and Earthlink by default but can be configured to work with
other FTP sites...
I don't use iDisk for backup per se. But I do use it to "backup" my
bookmarks to keep them in sync across multiple computers. I use an
external Firewire drive for my daily backups along with a program
called Synk. http://www.decimus.net/synk/ There is a 30 day trial
period and the license is free to educators.
I used to use Carbon Copy Cloner to do my backups but it wasn't
working with Tiger when Tiger was first released so I switched to
Synk. I am also familiar with the program called BurnAgain that Eric
mentioned...it is a great little program!

Ooo, no. $99.95 per year :-)
I have three accounts, and one of them I paid for extra 1GB.
The most I get them out for money is, of course iDisk, email account
which is totally SPAM free (I don't know how they do it, but I have
had
them since their initial launch), iSync, and VoIP(!). Using iChat
with .Mac account, I call Japan via Ethernet. I don't do video phone
because it has conflict with my DAW setup, unfortunately.
I also use iDisk to host sound files and movie files called from my
A-NO-
NE website because it streams much faster and reliably. .Mac
website is
very handy for posting family photos to show my mother in Japan,
while I
don't want to use my business web server for that.
It has been worth it for me.
