I've used the Microsoft's Mesh for my wife's system. It works great and has saved her from several issues. I currently have a Windows Home Server that does the image based backups every night. I am considering getting an online backup solution for just that box. Local copies then if I lose that box I can restore from online.
My co-worker uses Mozy because he likes the larger data storge then MS Mesh (25GB I think) and he has thousands of pictures. His hard drive died recently and he spent 3 days streaming down all the files to restore them but they were all there. This is why I like the WHS as an intermediate device.
