Dropbox provides you with online storage (2GB for free).

JungleDisk backs up your files to &#8216;Amazon Web Storage&#8217; &#8211; which is a secure and stable setup used by many websites (including Twitter). In a nutshell you pay JungleDisk a set monthly fee, and pay Amazon based on how much data you store.
