+1 for the value of backups!
I use Dropbox Pro @ $10 per month for 1 TB cloud storage, plus $4/month for Packrat which provides unlimited "undelete and restore" previous versions of files. Dropbox recently added Remote wipe which will delete the Dropbox folder from a device registered to you - good for wiping your data from a stolen device as soon as it goes online.
Since Dropbox mirrors the content on any number of computers (stored locally on a computer's hard drive) as well as gives me access from mobile devices, I find it a perfect solution for my personal and business needs. All my files are mirrored in the Dropbox folder of three computers, and I set up this folder in a partition separate from the system/OS partition so I can wipe and reinstall Windows & programs and maintain my data separate and intact. The cost may seem high compared to NAS or external storage backup but the peace of mind for me is well worth it! I was happy paying that amount for 100GB, and Dropbox increased that a few months ago to 10 times the storage (1TB) at no additional cost. I thought Christmas had come early...!!
