Circuit City had many, many problems (at least at the store here). Lots and lots of "managers" walking around, while their pricing on computer hardware was really, really high. Even during their clearance last week, I went in and found an HP laptop they had marked down for the clearance special ($200 off normal price), and I did a quick lookup and found the exact same laptop, brand new, online for $200 less than that price. So they had a $400 markup on an $899 laptop? Seems a little excessive to me.

While I believe Amazon will survive there is no such thing as too big to
fail...

Mike's own server ensures that as long as Mike is there, the data is there.

I backup my servers to my own server for this reason in addition to the
capability and locality of the data.

Amazon's S3 service is very inexpensive and well done. There are many
different clients out there which work with S3. I like Mozy but I
think Amazon is more likely to be around in the long haul (too big to
fail?).

I'm looking at remote-backup.com.  It seems to be what I'm looking
for, but I'd like to know what other, similar options are out there.

It must not be cumbersome for either myself or the client.
It must have encryption at all levels (transport and storage).
It must have sold online backup in mind, not an enterprise backup
program.
It must work on Windows clients, hopefully Linux clients too.
