Default Mac itunes backup option

I bought Bandwagon yesterday and am using it to backup my iTunes collection to Amazon's S3 on-line storage site. If you are wondering about an offsite backup solution for your iTunes library and are on a Mac here are the details:

Bandwagon costs 24 bucks, I got it on a one day sale for 12.
S3 storage is .15 per gig per month with transfer costs being .16 per gig or so. No limit that I saw, free to register.
BW runs in the background and can be throttled down to 10KB/s of UL/DL bandwidth. You can choose broad categories of files to backup and then go into that queue and manually remove items if you want.

It's going to take quite some time to get the intial backup taken care of, 15GB of data takes a while to transfer at 10KB/s, but it should be fairly hands off after that.
