Assuming the goal is to have only technically sophisticated users who want to use the most durable data store known to man (S3) and have a rock solid & secure backup solution, the pricing structure being 3-6 times that of s3 pricing is a great value on all sides.
actually: colin, could you tell us perhaps what the total monthly storage and or bandwidth volume is? I don't think that if has ever been stated on the internet :)
caveat: i've been playing with tarsnap on/off since it was first launched, and now that i'm doing my own wee startup, i'm using it quite seriously and religiously to backup my working directories. Love it. (however much i email the tarsnap user list with some confusion thats easy to sort out every time i've resumed using tarsnap after some hiatus :) )
