ONLINE backup providers -Any advice?

Has anyone here had any experience of ONLINE (continuous) computer backup providers? I quite like the idea of selected files/folders being continually encrypted & backed up to remote servers, as I work. That way backups are always up to date.

I do have an external USB hard drive but am reluctant to have it running permanently, making frequent scheduled backups. Besides which, when I last needed to restore a backup from the drive, it wouldn't restore, neither would System Restore work either (I have never had any success getting System restore to work as I always get the message "System Restore has failed"; both using XP & W7).

I did subscribe to Memset's "Squirrelsave" but it wouldn't work on my Windows 7 machine. Others I am considering are "Bytebaq", "Humyo" & "Livedrive" (all based in The UK). There are numerous USA based companies too, such as "Mozy", "Carbonite", "Jungle Disk" & "Dropbox"; also "Memopal" (Italy), plus "Gigabank" & "Wuala" (both Switzerland). I take the view that a backup server that is geographically close to my ISP (XILO/UNO) in Maidenhead, is likely to backup faster than one based in (say) Los Angeles. So I tend to favour a UK based company; and one costing no more that £5 per month for 50GB to unlimited backups.

If anyone would like to give advice or make recommendations, I would be glad to hear from them.

Online Backups are better cause a fire or flood can take out my home, my computer, my backup hard drives and DVDs, and I would lose every photo I ever took of my kids. but with [SPAM REMOVED] I Just add your important files to your online backup. Everything you choose to include will be there for you to download on any computer just by using a web browser. :)

Highly recommend!
