I'd be very interested, particularly if you can think creatively about
pricing structures.  For example, I would like to back up more than a
few hundred MB of data, but nearly all of it won't change very much at
all - so I would be keen on a high storage/low bandwidth allowance
back-up solution (with initial backup not counted towards bandwidth
allowance).  Others might want less storage but more bandwidth.

I'd pay £5-10/month for the right product. 

Where's your Windows service publicised? I have users who might be
interested.
