Getting my data offsite is not an issue. I leave the house daily and hit my storage unit often. Pushing my stuff through the thin pipes available here, though, would be an issue, and I can't think of any vendors I am willing to trust with my personal data. It looks slick, but given how oversold bandwidth is here, it's not appealing. As to software RAID, I haven't yet run across one which was simpler than hardware RAID. Maybe things have changed, but they still require Yet Another PC.

@MetaHyperBolic: It would help to know your upload speed, but keep in mind that most good network backup applications will only copy the changes (or, at worst, the changed files) over the wire. The initial backup will take a long time unless you seed the offsite backup (which is possible with CrashPlan), but subsequent backups will be much faster unless you're frequently changing your files. Also, network backups typically run more frequently (e.g., whenever your computer is idle), making each backup job even smaller.
