I like Dropbox because it is a no-brainer. Whatever is in that folder gets backed up and I don't have to think about it. When my hard drive crashed, it was very easy to get things up and running again, I just downloaded the folder, told Calibre my library was there, and it found everything.
Just used your referral link for a Dropbox account -- it's working out pretty well for me so far. Now my library will be backed up there as well as on my external hard drive. That should be plenty, I think.
