Help me find a personal offsite data backup service.
I've got about 2TBs worth of unique personal data stored on 4TBs of disks (two of which are redundant for backup purposes).
I want a cheap and simple OFFSITE backup solution that offers: (a) unlimited storage for a reasonable price (max: $15/month) and (b) an option to ship me an external hard drive whenever I need to backup a bunch of data at once, which I then send back to them full of my data (instead of me having to do all the backups over the Internet, which is basically impossible with this much data).
Does a service like this exist? Or do you have any other suggestions?

I am a satisfied CrashPlan customer. They allow for unlimited storage at ~$50/yr and let you to seed large backups. However, I don't think they can do this every time you need to do a backup but you may want to check with them.

Crashplan was the one most recommended that I found in my research. But....it doesn't look like you can backup files FROM a local fileserver (if you have, which I do), but you can backup external HD's attached to you main machined.
