I looked into online backups, but unless one has tremendous upload and
download bandwidth it would just take too long to backup and recover.

Let's say that you have 768Kb/sec upload speed.  To backup 500 GB:

500G bytes x 8 bits/byte x 1 sec/768K bits X 1 min/60 sec x 1 hr/60 min
x 1 day/24 hr =~ 60 days.

Some of the services also limit your download bandwidth, so check that
out also.  But if you achieved 8Mb/sec, it would still take about 6
days to get your data back.
