I've also been using Crashplan for years (~4 IIRC). The critical thing is
that restores go quite well. You can pick up random directories (up to a
size limit); it'll zip it up for you to grab.
FWIW, before Crashplan I used Carbonite. I changed when I went to restore a
machine and it would run for

The other challenge with CrashPlan is that it's a memory hog, like most

I haven't really found that to be the case (*GENERALLY*)... usually it's
quite well behaved but -- yes -- it can occasionally balloon for a while
somewhat unpredictably, especially if you have a large backup-set.

I've been using CrashPlan for years, and my only complaint is that their Java
interface isn't the most intuitive (plus the design is pretty out-of-place on
my Macs). I don't have to do much in that interface, though; it's pretty
set-it-and-forget-it.
I like that my files backed up to the cloud
We have a lot of people who have been happy with CrashPlan for years. Our
storage/backup/DR wizard swears by it for his personal backups and has been
advocating using it for our corporate desktop backup.

Second this. Crashplan "family plan" lets you back-up up to 10 devices,
fairly cheaply ($150/year). They're not picky on where the devices
physically are (so, for instance, my family's Linode servers are also
backing themselves up via Crashplan).

Matt,
Try using FreefileSync (http://www.freefilesync.org/). It is different,
but with a few wrapper scripts I have found it a good replacement for
BackupPC. We are using it at work to backup 1500+ Mac workstations.
