Just picked up a program called Arq (http://www.haystacksoftware.com/arq/) for OS X that backups a machine to Amazon S3. You pay Amazon based on standard storage and bandwidth costs (http://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/) and it allows for reduced redundancy storage, so you're looking at about 10cents a gig per month. Based on your note above, for 385 gigs you're looking at about $36/month ($432/year) -- and that's before you get smoked on transferring all that data to Amazon, which will cost you about 10 cents a gig and run you about $39 for a one time transfer. Once most those files hit S3 you won't have to re-send them (just backup newly changed files) but Mozy's $439.89 is still looking like the cheaper option. |

If you're worried about cost, you can also use their Reduced Redundancy storage which would save you a chunk out of that.
