I agree about separate syncing and backup – I use DropBox and OneDrive for syncing. I use IBackup.com for backups.

I’ve tried Mozy, Carbonite, sosonlinebackup.com, and backup.com. I found all of them slow or hard to use.

I’ve been using IBackup.com for more than two years. It’s inexpensive and easy to use. I have been happy with it but I’m especially happy with the newest version. The initial backup is a full backup so it can take a while. Subsequent backups are very, very fast. IBackup keeps something like the last 30 versions of each file – this is more than sufficient for my needs. I rarely have to go back more than 2 versions.

Restore is also very fast. Speedy restore is very important to me because, although I rarely need to restore, when I need to restore, I need it to be fast.
