I love Jungledisk. I think its $20 and it works with Amazon's S3 service. You select the files you want backed up and schedule and it does all the work. They are stored on Amazon's services and so not only does it provide off-site backup but also you have access to them from any internet-connected machine with a copy of Jungledisk. And it works on Windows, OSX, and Linux.
