I'd beware of using Google as part of a backup system. If you send too many

your account I assume.
My suggestion for using GMailFS [1] is not actually serious for the
purpose of backup of data for this and other reasons. GMailFS is
really just a cool hack, and may be useful for the odd spare backup.
It would be a bad way to do continuous backups. Sorry that was not clear.
Network back-up might actually be a market google could get into,
considering the demand for it.
[1] GMailFS is not the same as the (proprietary, I think) google
distributed filesystem (GFS?), which is what the google search system
uses.
