Depends on the volume of files. I just went around this with a friend who is self employed, and has business as well as personal files. I recommended a Firewire or USB 2.0 external drive cage, with several hard drives. Do a complete backup to an external drive, remove it and put it in a safe deposit box at his bank, and swap another drive into the enclosure. Online backups are splendid, assuming the volume is reasonable and you have a fast broadband connection, but then your point of failure is your internet connection. Guaranteed your ISP will experience prolonged problems just when you need to restore something from that online backup...
