As mentioned above it soon occurs to many that offsite is the (only) way to go.

My ISP gives me 1MB/second uploads and DreamHost was doing less than a 10th of that. So that didn’t work.

However, for your purposes, downtime isn’t the worst thing for the costs savings you are getting. I hope you have better luck that I ended up having.

It’s a great value.

However.

I found the upload speeds very slow. My ISP gives me 1MB/second uploads and DreamHost was doing less than a 10th of that. So that didn’t work.

iDrive, however, is awesome. The software works well. More importantly, my upload speeds are almost 1MB/second, and you can buy 150GB of online storage space for $49.95 USD/year, or $4.95 a month, your choice.

Highly recommended.

http://www.dreamhost.com/tos.html state:

The customer agrees to make use of DreamHost Web Hosting servers
primarily for the purpose of hosting a website, and associated email
functions. Data uploaded must be primarily for this purpose; DreamHost
Web Hosting servers are not intended as a data backup or archiving
service. DreamHost Web Hosting reserves the right to negotiate
additional charges with the Customer and/or the discontinuation
of the backups/archives at their discretion.

So basically the way the make money is as following. If you they do make money with you, all is fine. If you use what you have been offered they give you two choices:
1. Cancel account
2. Pay for “extra” service which is 0.20 USD/GB per month.

Any recommendation for another service which offers about 100GB space for a reasonable price?

Regards,
Mat

Also it goes against their TOS.

You really lose if you go with dreamhost.
