Obviously I think the answer to this is yes (Simply Offsite is my company) as do Fred Wilson and Jeremy Zawodny, (see their posts Online Backup's Inflection Point, and Swimming Pools and Hard Disks), however, I still don’t think its practical to backup an enormous amount of data but not because of bandwidth. The cost of storage is the problem.

What is data backup and why do it? Seems like a silly question but you would be surprised to know that most people don’t really know the answer to either of these questions. Lots of people know they should do it, what exactly or how on the other hand...

Originally an online backup meant backing up files, usually on a server, without taking the server off line. That is the server and what ever it was serving, like a web server, or email server, remained available during the backup process. The real need or desire for an online backup (aka open file backup), evolved with our amassing of data, the Internet and an insane work ethic.
