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...
