I'm backing up our home PC to Amazon's S3 cloud service. After all, what's the point of a removable hard drive backup when it'll get destroyed in the same house fire or stolen in the same burglary as the main PC?

Note that I don't even have a video camera, it's mostly just seven years of digital photos. Anyone with precious memories of their children growing up can't easily upload and share them with their families.
