I would like to know the same. Personally I use s3cmd to sync my photos to s3. Amazon have said that they will be adding s3 <--> glacier support soon so you could use s3 for a full current revision and glacier for point in time backups. This'd be very expensive though with s3 costing 12.5 times glacier. Slightly cheaper is the reduced redundancy store, bit still...
My current plan is to just do a few big tar files of various subjects (Documents/Photos/Development/etc), encrypt and upload once a month. In between times could use tar's incremental features, though I have no experience with them.

If I need to build up a small number of large archives, is there good software available to help me track what has already been archived and uploaded, and what is new/changed and therefore needs to be built into a new archive. Given the pricing, actual diffs probably arent that worthwhile so long as I can get it all back again in the end.
