So far, most of these companies have given no love to Mac. Like Neil, above, I tried Carbonite originally for my Windows box . I also was frustrated with its interface (no details!) and lack of Mac compatibility, so I switched to ElephantDrive. This works much better for me, mostly because it is cross-platform and allows you to mount a network drive directly to your account.

I'm using SMEStorage.com. I have an Amazon S3 account (I like to own my own data.....) and using something SMEStorage called OpenS3 I can use my own Amazon Keys. This gets me a slick web file browser, online integrations with Zoho Office, Picnik (for photo editing) and ScribD iPaper. I also get real time MP3 streaming and upload to Flickr etc. They also have an iPhone client and nifty integrations with MS Word and Open Office as well as email backup etc. I'm not locked in because I'm basically using their services with my data

Maybe you should try www.basota.com for Mobile backup (10€ per year), check it out it's far more simple than Storegate etc.

Before I made the move to Mac I used to use Carbonite (it was ugly and Windows only, so it didn't make the jump). Loads of people seem to praise Mozy though, so it would be my first choice if I felt the need to buy in to cloud-based-backup again.
