Last night I managed to fix my ReadyNAS NV+ with a replacement PSU purchased from PC Warehouse (bypassing customer support but shelling out a bit over $100).  I updated the forums with the relevant links and am happy to once again have a running RAID array for backup at home.

More importantly though, this incident made it amply clear that in addition to my local backup I absolutely need a cloud backup as well.  Would love to get recommendations on what to use. 

Ideally, I would like a single provider that lets me address both use cases from my ReadyNAS: media storage (all my photos, videos and music are on there) and incremental backup using TimeMachine.  Maybe trying to get both from a single provider is asking too much (and I am not even sure TimeMachine can work with truly remote volumes).  So also open for separate recommendations.

Also, ideally, I would want to have a single master account that lets me connect many different machines as opposed to having to buy and setup separate plans for each of the many machines we have at home (half a dozen at last count).  Again, that’s a nice to have and not absolutely critical.

Finally, once stuff is in the cloud it should also be accessible from mobile devices.  That’s especially true for the media files (which I tend not to have local copies of due to size constraints), but would also be nice for the incremental backup.

Looking to hear what other people are using.
