My father paid around $400 to get his data recovered off of a dead HD, this was around 4 years ago. I back up my photo's to Google Picasa web albums which also does videos under 100mb and I've signed up for 10gb for that. For documents I use Google Docs, for anything too big, I just use Adrive, were you get 50gb for free. I've also got a iMac G3 which I use for my local back up.
