Thanks. I'm also wondering about how secure these services are. I mean, it's one thing to store pics and music there, but what if you have sensitive personal financial info/passwords, etc. Are these things encrypted? I suppose anything is susceptible to hacking...

Do NOT rely on them to provide the appropriate security.
If we're talking about photo's and music, meh... But of you're also backing up financial records and tax returns... Assume that the data will eventually fall into the wrong hands...

I would listen to whatever EPP recommends as I think this is his thing, as a suggestion however, I use truecrypt and it seems to do a good job as far as I am aware.
