if your thinking of online try: http://www.backblaze.com/
5$ a month, unlimited storage

I know it's not a desktop program but I am currently using Backblaze, an online service.

that backblaze service is a steal of a deal .

i have wondered if any of these online services offer archiving and in case of emergency can send you data via cd, dvd, usb or larger so as not to wait for downloads or if a good connection is unavailable

version3 - amazons S3 service will actually do that, although you'll pay quite a pretty penny for S3 itself.
I'm sure you can just ask many providers to do this, and if not, i'm sure it will become more common place within a year or 2- isn't S3 dirt cheap?********

- no
storage is .15$ per gb
holding a terrabyte of data would cost 150$ /mnth you could just buy a new drive...Machuse - could just buy a new drive every monthMachuse
- yeah, you're right - it would work out pretty expensive.********

How can you be sure that an offline company will keep your data safe? If they can't supply you with your data when it matters, can you sue?
- offline / online - gah, I don't know********
- All depends on the contract. You only sue if they don't fulfil the contract.ribit
- offline / online - gah, I don't know

When Backblaze says "unlimited storage" does it really mean that?
Eg I know with Mozy, if you delete files from your computer, they get deleted from Mozy, hence it's not actually unlimited storage

Backblaze charge a premium to send your files via DVD... around $190. But you can restore via download for free.

You didn't specify straight data storage versus back-up/restore, so assuming the latter is the more important, Acronis True Image has worked very, very well for me.
