"So i’m searching for a big honking disk in the cloud for my home videos. I was thinking about Amazon S3 but I haven’t found an easy desktop client that makes it simple for our needs."
Look at JungleDisk. 1st-rate Mac support, their Pro product is worth the (paltry amount of) money, and it's constantly being improved.
Edit: whoops, I didn't see the earlier comment. Make that, "ditto".

There are a lot of ways you can balance how you backup your data. May I suggest that you take a look at my company, Memeo, which has a backup tool that will automatically backup your data to both an online storage site and an external hard drive, USB drive, iPod, FTP site, Network drive, etc. Also, if you are concerned about remembering to backup regularly our software has a unique feature that will instantaneously backup your files without any prompting. So the moment you save/modify/add a file it is backed up to any destination you like.

Thanks for the tip.
First I'm gonna back up all my home videos with jungledisk and then once it's all safe and sound I'll check out memeo.

I've found that JungleDisk is perfect for smaller files, but when they start to get above 1GB, it becomes unreliable, which is a problem for video.
I've had problems with Mozy too, but if I use it exclusively for video, and JungleDisk for everything else, it's a winning combo.

Crashplan.com - faster, cheaper, and better. I'm not just saying that - better compression, lower costs, supports on-site, off-site, and online destinations.

does it do backups to S3 automatically? Does it do incremental backups ? thanks.
Thanks.

Guaranteed restore technology, faster backups, entirely cross platform. Worth checking out.
