There really are only 2 options:
   tarsnap - Commercial, inexpensive, done "right".  IMO, it's not a
	large neough market to justify a competitor bothering.
   DIY - works best if you have control over hardware in a datacenter.
	Worth considering if you have large data sets, especially
	if they rarely change by a significant percentage. Advantage
	is that it's possible to be faster than tarsnap and you are
	not limited to tar.

I use a combination of both.
