Here (where "here" is "California") I've been using CrashPlan+ (http://crashplan.com/) for all my personal backup needs. I really can't recommend it enough and the cost was low enough that I didn't even think twice. I currently only back up ~400GB between the various systems, but one of their selling points is truly unlimited bandwidth and storage. They don't care how much I send them or how quickly I get it there. Additionally, CrashPlan offers a service where you can send them an initial backup set on disk ("Seeded Backup"), and continue from that point forward online. Likewise, for disaster recovery, they can send you the most recent backup set on disk, too ("Restore to your Door"). Either is a one-time cost. Unfortunately, while I'm pretty sure you could buy their online backup service, they state that the "Seeded Backup and Restore to your Door are US and overseas APO only. Gregory -- Gregory K.
