...looked a number of times but the first problem was always been the length 
of time required to backup 40+ gigs over the net ...doesn't matter who the 
vendor is ...it would require days, not hours, over dsl for the first full 
backup and then incrementals can take hours themselves.

...but the real problem to me is system restoration on fail ...if file 
backup were my only consideration then web might be feasible ...but if the 
server fails and your only backup is the web then you're looking at a very, 
very long outage vs an hour fom tape and minutes from a hard disk b/u.
