Overall, your two biggest challenges are going to be convincing people they need backups (they still don't know, we tried) and pricing. Currently, Backblaze gives me unlimited backups for $5/month or less. With nearly half a terabyte of photos, it's cheaper for me to back up everything with them than use a service like this, which doesn't back up the rest of my stuff.
That said, I hope you guys can find a way to make it work!
