FirstBackup

Firstbackup does mention on their site that they are also geared toward the Home, SOHO and Notebook User Market but I see them really entering the market at the small business entry point. Subscribers can connect to the FirstBackup backup servers over traditional dial-up, broadband or any existing TCP/IP Network connection. FirstBackup provides secure, robust and reliable online backup for MS Windows® PCs, Notebooks, Workstations and Servers. It is easy to configure multiple PCs and/or Servers to share one account. The computers do not have to be geographically co-located. You can define separate sub-user accounts and allocate storage for each computer. This enables every computer to have unique logins, preferences and configuration - all controlled by and billed to a single administration account. Even though FirstBackup is more expensive than most other services listed on this site the capability to manage 3 different offices with one master account for control and billing may be worth the extra cost. Compatibility: Windows9x/Me/NT4.0sp6a / 2000sp4 / 2003 / XP/Vista; Pentium III or higher CPU; 128 MB RAM or greater; 100 MB Disk Space plus space required for processing; TCP/IP Network, Dial-Up Networking (if desired); and Modem or other networking hardware
