I have used both carbonite and backblaze. Both services are extremely similar and offer competitive packages. One thing of note is that they all differ on what file types they allow. (Some don't allow music, iso images, executables, etc...) so insure all of your file types are supported before signing up.
They're both highly secure in transport and storage. For a small shop, or someone without a ton time/experience for checking regular backups I think this is a great solution. The only reason I decided to move off of a hosted service is that, even though I have nothing to hide, having my data "out there" somewhere, but not under my control eventually got to me. A few friends and I got together and ended up building a similar service to use ourselves.

Since this is company related; How critical is data secrecy to your company? Are you publicly traded or under any data related regulatory compliance?
