We use CrashPlan for our disaster recover strategy. We are a graphic design studio that is backing up about 400GB worth of data offsite to a Mac Mini with 1TB drive hooked up to it. The initial backup takes some time, but you can circumvent most of that by doing your first backup over your local LAN and then move your setup offsite.
We also use Retrospect to create daily backups locally, but will abandon that when CrashPlan implements that feature.
Cudos to Code 42 and their hard work and great product support.
My only suggestion, would be to create a user forum linked to their site to minimize questions with solutions that have already been answered and to promote creativity with the product.
