I'm looking for a good cloud backup provider. I tried CrashPlan for awhile but I've heard a lot of bad things about it, but more importantly it didn't actually manage to backup any of my file anyway (or, it looked that way at least) so I dropped it for now.
Specifically I'm looking for something I can use on a headless server, and also something not too expensive.

What I'm trying to accomplish is the headless server is my backup server (but, it also runs all my other servers on VM's), and I want to backup all files on that to the cloud, and then backup from my desktops and laptops to the server (that part I have no trouble with, it's just finding a suitable and affordable cloud backup provider).

Wondering if anyone has any ideas?

I ended up going with hubiC since I could get 10TB for about $60CAD per year (or at least, for this year; I've heard elsewhere that it's closer to $200 normally).

Have you looked at TarSnap? A Canadian company from Vancouver.

Maybe an affordable alternative you could use after this first year with hubiC.
