What options are there for good, cheap online backup of data?

Prior to 2012 I'd been shooting jpg files and uploading them to Phanfare.com (which allows unlimited storage of various file formats (jpg, tiff, . . .)) for online storage and sharing. In 2012 I began shooting in RAW only. Phanfare charges extra for RAW files and requires that both jpg+RAW files be uploaded together. Since I didn't shoot jpg+RAW in 2012 and to keep from losing image data, I decided to export tiff files from Lightroom 3 and then upload these to Phanfare. However, this didn't work. I soon realized that each tiff files was much bigger than its corresponding RAW files. I also found out that Phanfare limits image file sizes to 20MB, which explains why tiff uploading wasn't working. What then are my options for online storage w/o data loss as occurs with jpg files?

I know nothing about file compression, but I'm anticipating that as a possible solution. Is compression of tiff files an option to stay below the 20MB limit if I using a 15 or 20 megapixel dSLR camera followed by development adjustments in LR3? Will we be able to view the compressed images on Phanfare? What's involved if I lose my local files (internal and external hard drive failures) and have to restore them from an online storage site like Phanfare--i.e., what's involved in restoring w/ compressed tiff files--assuming that's an option?
