Today I use Twin from App4MAc to backup one of my iMacs to another iMac (located in a different building) over the network. I've also done some minor testing of Mozy, Dropbox, JungleDisk, and a few other online solutions that also provides storage. CrashPlan combines the possibility to do backup to an external disk or a remote (friend's) computer (like Twin), and to online storage provided by them. It is free if you use it for personal use and use an external disk or a friend's computer. Another interesting online backup solution is BackBlaze. Unlimited usage is only $5/month. And you can restore your data by getting them to ship you a DVD or a USB drive (downloading might not be the best way to restore a huge pile of data). From this Mac Life article on online storage (and backup) I also found the Carbonite and SpiderOak services. If you want unlimited online storage Mozy and BackBlaze seem to provide good offers.
