I use Crashplan, and it is quite good, as David suggested.  The only issue
I would worry about is that it takes quite a while for CP to back up
large volumes.  I have several servers using Crashplan, and it took
3 or 4 weeks to get a 1TB fully backed up.  This could be a problem
for a video production environment that generates large volumes of
data quickly.

(this contrasts with Backblaze, another unlimited-cloud-backup vendor,
which seems to cover a terabyte in just a few days)

CrashPlan also has a local backup option in the software, so you 
define a two-tier model, local and cloud.  Presumably, the local
backup would go quicker.

good luck,
James
