Yep, Dropbox's offerings are very close to Mozy in price. I used it for
a while - setup was pretty straightforward, and the Linux client worked
pretty nicely. I wasn't crazy about it as a backup solution. It always
felt like a syncing solution that you could happen to use for backup as
well. Everything you want backed up has to go in your Dropbox folder - I
used symlinks to pull in the files I wanted backed up, but then I had
problems with some of my application config folders constantly sending
network traffic because the applications would modify them while running
and the Dropbox client helpfully monitors files for changes.

Any bored hackers want a project? Roll a new Dropbox client geared more
towards automated backups. Should be possible, could be popular...
