Carbonite Backup Service has been around for a few years and is an easy-to-use backup solution for personal computers.  In Windows, little orange and green markers appear on every file and folder to show you when a file has been backed up.

Backup of large files like Outlook .pst file and database files is enhanced by updating only the portion of the file that has changed.  With a DSL connection, an initial upload of files took 2-3 days for around 15 gigabytes.  Download speeds should be much greater if and when data recovery is needed.  An simple green Carbonite icon in the lower, right icon tray indicates that the backup is complete.  As I create new word processing and text files, the files are quickly backed up.  If you delete a file on your hard disk, Carbonite will keep the file for 30 days and then remove it from your backup.

With the life expectancy of a standard, non-solid-state hard disk drive only being a few years and some drives failing early, your chances for a hard disk drive failure ae significant.  Carbonite provides convenient, comprehensive backups to a safe, off-premise location at an attractive price.

Dropbox.com is one of several alternatives to Carbonite.  Whatever you choose, be sure to keep yourself backed up.
