Ever heard about ARP spoofing or man in the middle attacks? If not then this may not be for you, but if on the other hand “Yes” then here is a tool for you..
Our pal Irongeek has released this nifty small util “DecaffeinatID:” that will sit in your tray until it detects something nasty going on (like eg. attempted ARP spoofing of your default gateway) and then raise hell and bells to warn you.
Basically what it does it to monitor the MAC address of your default gateway, if this for some reason changes (which it never should) you will be warned and can take precautions.

I just heard one of my favorite podcasts this morning, in this they talked about Carbonite and how they have actually changed their crypto policy lately. Before you had to rely on their crypto keys, which meant that although all your data was encrypted both during transport and storage it could basically be decrypted by Carbonite employees (yes yes, court order and all I know, but still I like my data to be 10000% private), however now you can set your own AES key (256bit as I recall) and thus data is 100% private..
This does make Carbonite an interesting player once again… I may just have to give them a spin to see how it works.
Yet another player came to my attention, I have not heard about this before nor do I know much more than stated on their website; www.backblaze.com
Carbonite(I have not tested this myself and thus know only little about it) Pros; Cheap (around 55$ a year), UNLIMITED storage Cons;no versioning of files (only the latest version is backed up)

So to summarize;
Idrive (I use this myself, but am considering Carbonite to get more space)
Pros;Cheap (around 55$ a year), versioning of files, good gui with tons of tweaking, scheduled backup
Cons;“only” 150gb storage, gui could do with an update lots of options but not pretty
