There is also a utility called dropbox that works well and gives you 2GB free -- it's intended more for sharing documents that backup but it might work. It's $10/month for 50GB and $20/month for 100GB.
Mozy and Criptonite have unlimited space for <4.95 month.......so cheap...

problem with online is that they will nickle and dime you to death. look for the fine print cause they may have fees for downloading and uploading. not to mention the initial time it will take for you to upload 65 gigs of data.

as everyone ready mentioned a usb drive and fireproof box is a good and cheap alternative.

or you can skip the fireproof box and get one of these

Store one at your moms, problem solved. And if your worried about security get a drive that allows encryption.

Don't you work at a bank? Put one in a safe deposit box.

Then where am I gonna keep all my gold, guns and pron??

No boxes at my location....and what a pain to go in and out to update it.....

and frankly, not the greatest place to keep a delicate piece of equipment. typically cold, no environmental control or ventilation and worst- elavated moisture...cold metal always picks up condensation.

Box costs $35-50 year minimum......so do some of these companies.

I guess I could just try and overload SHutterfly...and upload everyuthing to them.....I think they would hate me.
