Why not encrypt and compress your backup data and use a service like this as a way to provide cheap off-site data storage for personal use? Encrypt and compress prevents anyone from understanding your data, and it provides a way to make sure you are able to back up information off your laptop or PC, in event your harddrive crashes, or there is a fire, or whatever.

That's a good idea. However, the whole reason the service is free is so they can data-mine as many customers as possible. If encryption becomes widespread, they may start charging for it.
