I'm want to perform a backup of all my photos and music files as well as some other bits and pieces. I've used BT Digital Vault in the past but found the backup process slow and hard to manage as well as being quite expensive. I need something that will let me backup from a mapped hard disk (a NAS box connected to my home network) and lots of products like Mozy don't allow that unless you buy the pro version which is way too expensive.
So my investigations lead me to iDrive but they don't seem to get much mention on product comparisons. Does anyone use iDrive? Is it any good? Or does anyone have a better recommendation for me?

If I backup the info on my computer, will I also be backing up any viruses?

I think my computer has a virus, so if I backup the info on it, will I pick up the virus too on the backup, only to reinstall it on my new computer?
Answer
Yes. Depending on what the virus has infected and what you are backing up.
If you are planning on formatting your computer then absolutely back up your important files... but do not bring them back onto the cleaned computer until you have a proper security suite (antivirus, firewall, antispyware, etc) installed from a RELIABLE vendor (like McAfee or Norton) that is properly configured and COMPLETELY up to date.
Then you can let the security program scan the files and attempt to clean them if that is possible before bringing them back onto the machine.
If you have programs then you do not need to back them up as you should have their installation cds or you can always redownload them again assuming you ensure you have proper security this time.
I would also recommend you ensure that you run windows updates until everything is completely up to date, rebooting and going back to the site until everything is up to date and then ensure it stays that way.
Good Luck
