For the last year or so, I've been buying some online backup storage from the excellent folks at rsync.net. Their support pages and website shows every sign of their being a company with a great deal of clue, I like the way they do business:
All support is handled by engineers. No first level techs or ticket systems. NO data will EVER be released to LEAs/TLAs without direct order by court with jurisdiction.
and they offer a wide variety of useful access methods, such as rsync, SVN, FTP and WebDAV. There's even a discount for free software developers. Highly recommended.

Though I prefer the pricing model of Amazon's S3, which I currently use with JungleDisk. I add extra encryption to certain files as necessary, but overall it does a decent job.
S3 is pretty redundant (minus last weeks hiccup) with redundancy in multiple DC's. rsync.net cost: $2.80/GB/mo. S3 is $0.15/GB/mo. Though with Amazon you pay for data transfer and requests, though I still do well under $2.80/GB. I'd say with my data I'm doing

Tape backups have been getting on my nerves for a while. I guess rsync.net has a new discounted customer coming up. :-)
Be sure to get a beer or similar substance from me at FOSDEM for your reseller comission. *grin*
