Jim, its a b***** good suggestion.
Run with it!

Seriously, the "big boys" are offering services like this.
A few months ago, I was talking to someone whose company was selling
services for big backups and data warehousing over the Net -
as I recall they had data centres in Japan, West coast and East coast
USA. Promised to mirror your data to two centres.
I think the company was called Level 7. There are others.

But nobody in the SOHO space, AFAIK.
(OK - there is Apple's iDrive - and now that they are going to charge 
for that there is a backup service being floated.
And I'm sure there are similar PC-based internet drives)
