Default Online Backup of choice

What do you guys out there recommend? Not just for photos but multiple files of all types.

Currently I am using dropbox (10USD monthly) but the only negative is the lack of an app that schedules backup jobs into itself - I have to use other 3rd party software. Also I have seen people on here moaning about it being hecticly expensive. I have briefly looked at mozy which does just that, but I do like the multiple access that dropbox offers.

I really have not looked at the others out there - what do you guys use and why / recommendations?

I use Crashplan. It's $6/month per computer for unlimited storage. It backs up automatically when your computer is idle. I also like that if you drive does fail, you can have them overnight a drive to you with your data, so you're not downloading it all back to your PC.

Thanks - Crashplan looked good right until it says "only Canada and US". That screws me over a little. Any other suggestions?
