Thanks for the feedback.  It appears to have the backup features similar to
Mozy, with the syncing, sharing, remote access features of dropbox.  I have
been using the free versions of Mozy and Dropbox for awhile and have been
happy with both of them.  Dropbox does let you increase the free version
with referrals up to 10GB, while spideroak only goes up to 5GB.

Anyone have a non hosted backup solution: for example, a service running on
my laptop that backups/syncs to either my website or another computer of
mine at another location, and has a web interface for remote access from
another computer.  Or maybe a simpler way to describe it is hosting my own
personal version of Dropbox?  I have several websites I manage with lots of
extra GB's that I don't currently use that I could take advantage of for
something like this.  Of course Python scripts are recommended! :-)
