My reservation with on line backup is the time it takes. I don't trust anything but a complete copy of everything so backing up 3 gig of work files (not photos) isn't realistic.
That said I have set up a bunch of batch/FTP files that transfer the basic text files of my work and they don't take quite so long but it's not the same as a complete copy which I make onto an external drive.
I guess for photos incremental backups might work OK but even so you'd be transferring a lot of data.

well, it took two weeks to bak up 35gigs but now everything is working quietly in the background and I tried some file retrieval and it was almost instant
I do have everything backed up onto two separate hard drives as well.

Now that's 'belt & braces' and bootlaces too.
