most major file backup companies are very secure
if you do it yourself to a directory then you at the very least need to add some directory security

I've been using online backup services without any security issues for more than 3 years.

Hello,

my name is David and I am with UpdateStar, the company which offers UpdateStar Online Backup, an online backup service. Security usually is one of the major issues for users when it comes to online backup. The major service providers offer best-of-breed data security together with their services, including transport encryption and server file encryption.

Here is a piece of advice from the UpdateStar website I found for you:
---
Myth 2: Online backup is insecure
This is also a widespread legend, some of which is even true if users upload their data to storage space of service providers such as Google and Microsoft often transmitted or stored unencrypted. Third parties can basically access these unencrypted data, so it is unsecure. Furthermore, these non-specialized services do not provide any guarantee that the data will be available the next day. Therefore we do not recommend to store important files by using unsecure services. Online backup services of serious players such as Mozy, Symantec, or UpdateStar offer protection through the use of high-security encryption combined with secure data centers. With these service providers your backups are in good hands. 130,000 user accounts are managed on our server facilities. Only an encrypted offsite data backup offers complete protection - safer than at home.

never had an issue with online storage companies. its far more secure to store your stuff online than on that hard drive at home that could fail at any time. You don't put your money under your mattress so why leave your priceless digital life vulnerable sitting right next to your computer? I use a service called mimedia and LOVE it.
