Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it. Their price is a bit of
a turn-off, though - at $0.80 GB/mo, backing up 20 GB costs $16 a month,
while the same amount of storage on Google (where I back up all my digital
photos) costs me 40 cents a month. With the other service mentioned earlier,
the price is $5 per month for unlimited storage, so in theory I could back
up a terabyte of movies for the same price (of course, it would probably take
a year to upload a terabyte ;-)).

I wonder what is rsync.net's discount for open source developers ;-)

Maybe I should back up my photos to one place (Picasa Web, at $5 per 20GB per
year and a fantastic web interface to view and share these backed up photos)
and the rest of the content - not more than 7 GB (rsync.net's minimum) to
rsync.net...
