Hmm... cloud storage prices have come down a lot since the last time I looked. Unlimited for $60/y sounds good to me, but as Klaus says, bandwidth will be the limiting factor. My ISP provides a highly asymmetric network, which shows in their provided connections. I get 50M down, 3M up, and the upload is throttled in peak times. Allowing for overheads, I think my uploads work out roughly equivalent to 1 Gbyte/hour. As long as your data production rate averages below that, it could work... the only pain point is doing the initial upload in the first place! I think I saw previously Amazon had another option where you can mail in a hard disk to manually load.
The only paranoia thing is I'd probably want to encrypt everything before uploading which may need manual intervention. This backup copy would only really be accessed as disaster recovery, not routine access.
