The price disparity between Vault and other offerings just keeps getting more ridiculous! Acronis recently introduced their online backup service at $30/yr (intro, later $50/yr) for 250GB, and iDrive has a plan for 500GB for $150/yr! There are others, too. Netgear's offering, while nicely integrated with Readynas, is an order of magnitude more expensive. In addition, the Vault website is awful, with an unintuitive design/layout, and extremely limited statistics. You can't even see on a folder by folder basis how much space you are using -- they only show the size of individual files and the aggregate total space used. It is so badly designed that you feel like you're being tortured every time you use it.
