This needs to be considered a regional issue because of where the data ends up being stored. for example as a canadian I find most of online backup solutions are based in the us, meaning my data is not stored in ny own country. I could only find one example of a canadian online backup solution http://datacubebackup.com/Data-Backup-How-It-Works.html that actually stores my files in a canadian location. Interestingly they do seem to market to americans wanted their files stores out of the country. This brings up another important issue regarding online pc backups, where is the data actually stored?

I like the concept of a data cloud which you can access at any time to get your documents. Drop.io is an interesting extension of online storage. http://www.drop.io Online backup seems to be gaining a lot of traction particularly with Amazon’s excellent service.
