With the new Google browser sync (Firefox only, naturally) replicating some of the features of syncing in .Mac, Backup is the only .Mac feature that Google doesn’t have.

Google’s Blogger and Pages, Gmail and the soon-to-be-released GDrive offer many of the features that .Mac provides at a much better price.
