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 are accessible via their mobile 
app, and I've been able to bring up important documents as necessary in the 
past when I have a sudden need for the info.
