So let's say that there exists a service which does encrypted offsite backups. And let's say that it is technically impressive but far, far outside the ken of mere mortals to set up. And let's further stipulate that the founder is stark-raving mad about his pricing strategy and has decided that to ensure Appointment Reminder against $X00,000 losses should cost me, not a typo, $0.60 per month.
Thanks for the advertising. This is worth far more than the $100/month you said you wanted to pay me. ;-)

I'm quite sure Patrick and a host of others would willingly pay you the $100, and shout the name 'Tarsnap' from the roofs. Seriously, you're a world-class mathematician; do the math and raise your prices.
Take. The. Money.
Sincerely,
Someone who wishes he could dream about winning the Putnam ;)
PUt it this way, I stopped backing up to tarsnap after a reinstall, but were I paying 100 a month it would be top of my todo list. Do me a favour, charge me more so I value it more
Just to add to the advertising (and to his point about how little you charge):
I've had a tarsnap account for about 3 years. Today I logged in and found that a server I thought I shut down last year is still backing up to tarsnap.
Tarsnap is so cheap that I never noticed.
Over 3 years and gigabytes of physical backups and terabytes-equivalent of logical snapshots, Tarsnap has so far cost me a grand total of about $48.
