But it won't backup external drives, not is it multi-platform. SpiderOak if a good alternative if you require these two features. At USD $10 per month for 100GB, it's a little more expensive but has a lot more flexibility. For example your SpiderOak account can be split across multiple computers so as long as you stay within your 100GB limit, so you can backup as many PCs as you want for $10/month. Also, you can setup shares - one PC's backup data can be made available from another PC. Carbonite is very good and cheap and I used it for about 2 years.
