David,

FWIW: I've tried Crashplan, mozy, carbonite, and norton online backup ... all four lack a critical feature for me ... none are able (or willing) to backup data from a mapped network drive.

I assume you are aware of this page at Crashplan?

http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/recipe/back_up_windows_mapped_drives

The overview portion of the page is:

"CrashPlan does not support backing up mapped drives on Windows.

CrashPlan runs as a Windows service and therefore cannot access drives
mounted by a user. This is an OS level restriction built into Windows.

If you would like to back up a mapped drive on Windows, this article
describes an unofficial method for doing so. It is not supported by
CrashPlan so proceed at your own risk."
