Just posted about Arq on another recent Mozy-related thread (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2167171 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2167171). Arq is an OS X program that backs up folders to Amazon S3.
Those new Mozy prices seem pretty close (if not cheaper) to what S3 will charge you, even for reduced redundancy storage.
The other thread quoted Mozy pricing at $432/year for 385 gigs. Amazon runs about 10 cents a gig for reduced redundancy, and another 10 cents a gig for transfer.
For around 150 GB of backup, you're looking at about $15 a month for S3 storage and another $15 to get the data from your machine to Amazon's.

Most people don't have data neatly quantized into units of 50 GB ($6/month) and 125 GB ($10/month), so they'll end up paying the full price for less storage. In contrast, Amazon only charges for actual usage.
