Cheapish Online Backup solution that will support a NAS drive

    Hi all,
    Just throwing this out there to get people's suggestions.

    I have a NAS drive attached to my computer (accessed via a mapped drive letter). I want to back-up the files on the NAS drive to an online storage system (along with some files from my main PC's drives). But I have two requirements:
    1) For the files on the NAS drive, I don't want a "sync" solution, as I don't always have it switched on. So I was looking for a true file archiving solution, i.e files will not get automatically deleted from the online backup after a set period of time.
    2) The ability to have multiple back-up sets. Some files to be backed up weekly, some monthly etc.

    Because of this, I've eliminated Mozy, Carbonite, SugarSync and Blaze. I was looking at IDrive, but they don't support multiple backup schedules and types. I looked at ElephantDrive and they wanted to charge over $3000 a year because the NAS drive was the source of the data.

    Anyone any other alternatives?
