Online backup

Anything I need to consider - apart from security of data and cost - in using an online hosting service to backup data?

For example Bravenet (just one I stumbled across) offers 5GB data storage at 7USD per month.

I'm not interested in Web hosting so those features are irrelevant to me

I'm just looking at the alternatives to CD-Rom and external hard disk backup for my friend. She is paranoid those media are vulnerable to theft or fire. I suggested she backs up to CD each week and mails the backups to her Mum.
