I am just now getting serious (that's sirius to you) about locking into a service as well and your article (and previous advice) has been a great help. Thanks! Great timing on this article.

For the bulk of my data, AlwaySync would only backup new/changed files. I did keep a few things in multiple increments though (compressed website backups) but most of the data was new. The transfer cost was usually the low part of my S3 invoice (less than a dollar of the total monthly fee). The S3 cost has been averaging between $10 and $20 per month. It's really not bad considering the amount of space, but with Crashplan it's a locked monthly fee, and won't go up as I add more data, and more computers. @Mark

When you were using S3, were you doing new full backups all the time or incrementals? and was the monthly S3 cost in the less than $10, less than $25 or less than $50 per month range?
