I have like 5-6 TB of data across 8 hard drives, and have experienced enough malfunctioning hard drives that I'm leaning toward using an online backup solution.

Anyone use either crashplan or backburn?

I am leaning toward using crashplan.

What online backup methods do folks use, and are there any other helpful tips about data backup that anyone can share?

Thanks.

Online backups.. what happens if/when they go out of business?

What do you suggest then? Multiple additional hard drives- that can also crash/be stolen/etc?

For that much data, RAID setups. If you are worried about stuff being stolen, Iron Mountain.

I’m a big fan of online backup services, and I recommend Handy Backup. It provides both backup software and online backup services. It's the best backup solution I ever used.
