I just keep everything I care about in my Dropbox. I use enough machines on a day-to-day basis that this leaves me with a decent local redundancy, and having it all on Dropbox means that I'll have access to it even if all of my machines go down at once.
I fear Dropbox may be more like RAID than like backup: what happens when a file is deleted, causing it to be removed from all of your redundant machines?

You have 30 days to recover it using the free version, and unlimited time if you pay for it: https://www.dropbox.com/help/115/en
Also if one machine is not updated (due to no network, for example), the file still exists there.
