I've used Carbonite for the last couple years with no complaints ... but than I haven't needed to restore lost files from carbonite (although it did work when I tested it on a couple files once). Keep in mind that Carbonite just backs up your files, not your system and applications.
I also use Acronis to back up email daily and mydocs weekly but I also occasionally back up the complete system image to my NAS or external USB drive. This really saved my bacon when the hard drive puked and died in my notebook machine. Instead of days of finding and loading software, I just restored from the last image to a new hard drive. That took less than an hour.

I don't have any experience with them, but I am hesitant with storing all my information on someone else's computer.
