Online Backup Service?

I'm looking for an online backup service to upload my important stuff to...

Makes more sense than burning DVDs and taking them to another location or safety deposit box...

If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

There have been 3 devastating fires in the lives of people very close to me in the last 2 years - every time it happens I say "I need to backup everything I have off-site." Then I back up a few DVDs and life goes on... problem is I have an A/V business and need to backup several hundred GBs... It would take days to burn all the DVDs, and having an extra Terabyte harddrive or 2 for backups doesn't make sense since it's still in this location, so even my backups would burn in a fire.

Any tips? I've found some great ones online, but before I take a chance on any of them, I wanna hear some recommendations. Thanks!

These pics are from when the Arlington burnt down... my sister-in-law had just moved in 4 days earlier... luckily she had insurance, but her thesis was in there! Thankfully they recovered her harddrive despite water and smoke damage.




The other fires were my sister-in-law's boyfriend (he actually had 2 fires in 2 years - one minor one, and one that burnt his house down - he's an ex-boyfriend now but not because of the fires), and the one where my wife teaches... her high school library burnt down. YEESH!
