Nathaniel Irons on CrashPlan

Nathaniel Irons reviews CrashPlan for Cool Tools:

It’ll back you up to external hard drives, or computers on your network, or flat-rate cloud storage, but its great innovation is the ability to back up over the internet, with permission, to another CrashPlan user. This is terrific for maintaining your own automatic offsite backups between work and home, or spreading backup religion to friends and family. All you need is broadband and spare disk space.

Regular off-site backup is the biggest hole in my current system. CrashPlan sounds great.
