Jerry, I am using JungleDisk to access Amazon's S3 storage system. Jungle disk is $20 to buy up front and then it costs 15ยข a month per gigabyte. Annual plans are also available. Backup is automatic and invisible.
The service is CHEAP. I backup all my customer files (and numerous incremental backups of all my projects under development) continuously and have yet to spend $5 a month. It's at: <http://www.jungledisk.com/> Another one that looks very promising, but is a little bit more expensive is CrashPlan. <http://www.crashplan.com/> One of its intriguingly unique features is that you could load a copy of the software on a friend's computer and you could backup to it with the same features and not have any monthly charges. There's no charge for any copy of the program that only serves as a backup site. Only computers with files TO backup need register. Like JungleDisk, CrashPlan has a storage server of their own that you can pay monthly charges for, if you want to let someone else handle the hosting headaches. There's a free one month trial hosting, so there's nothing to lose to try it out. I liked it very much, but in the end I went with cheap (and Amazon's super-redundant server cloud). j.
