Interesting. We are launching a service based on the remote backup software from Remote Backup Systems, Inc. http://remote-backup.com which will cater mostly to businesses. It has most of the features you mention above, but also supports (natively) open SQL and Exchange databases, with mail folder-level restore capabilities.

IBackup to safely and securely backup and store all your important files online. With the help of their flagship application, IBackup for Windows, you can easily backup files and folders and restore them whenever you want. The application’s interface has a similar look and feel to that of Windows explorer. So newbies don’t have to worry about anything at all.
All data transfer with IBackup enjoys 128-bit SSL encryption on transmission. Besides immediate backups of selected files and folders, you can schedule backups and restores based on your needs. IBackup for Windows takes less bandwidth as it transfers only modified portions of your files to ensure a quick backup. Also download and install IDrive that maps your online IBackup account as a local drive on your computer. You can then drag-and-drop, open, edit and save files stored in your online account, as if they are on your local computer. If you want to safely store your music and video collection and play them whenever you want, you can use 'IDrive Multimedia'.
Besides all these, you can share data with others using Web-Manager. Sharing is done by creating sharable links and emailing them to your friends and colleagues. You can lock the files/folders, view the images stored in your IBackup account, play music files and even ‘private share’ data instantly with another IBackup user

I suggest you to try DriveHQ.com before reviewing any other online backup services. Their service is awesome, the best I have seen in the last 5 years. I rate their features, usability and reliabilty the best. The company has existed since 2003, so maybe that's why it has more time to polish detailed features/usability. If you don't believe me, check this page for more info. They have excellent flash demo about the service: http://www.drivehq.com/help/features/Backup.aspx

IDrive-E. This application performs 'totally hands-free automated backups' of files and folders. There is absolutely no limit on the upload or download size for backup and restore as that of the reviewed service.
IDrive-E does incremental backups that transfer only portions of file that have been modified or changed since the last backup. This user-friendly application allows you to restore large number of files with a simple drag-and-drop using the Windows Explorer like interface. All data transfer is encrypted with 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. IDrive-E also has 256-bit AES encryption on storage with an encryption password key provided by the user while installing the application. This ensures that only you have access to the data.
IDrive-E has automatic schedule backup that will be continued even during machine logoff state (NT service mode). There is an option ‘Automatic Power off after scheduled backup’ with which you can automatically shut down the machine after the completion of scheduled task off-peak hours. IDrive-E retains 30 versions of backed up data and you can restore any version from these 30 versions. You can also restore latest versions of all your files or versions of files as of a specific backup set.
The service is awesome. I have tried several other backup services before, not satisfied; but this time I am very happy with DriveHQ online storage and backup service. I have now started using DriveHQ's POP3 email service! Yes, they support Outlook email and can backup my Outlook email as well. Complete features and nice features, period!

Mozy is also my application of choice for backing up my data. I currently have about 100GB backed up with them and that will only increase each time I press the shutter on my camera.
