small business, like medical corporations, Law firms, Architectural,
Development, companies ...any that makes a lot of money and doesn't have
a dedicated IT department. Being able to auto backup, off site,
incrementaly, saftly, with a reliable source for a grand a year is a
bargain

This seems weird to me. Amazon is offering 1TB of cloud for $1000/yr.
So, you can keep your stuff backed up & sync'ed for $1000/yr. Hehe.
Who exactly is going to go for this? For way less than that, I can get
several 1TB HDs and cycle backup drives to/from the office or even a
safe in the PO. And who has fast enough upload speeds to make backing
this data up online feasible?
While I like using the cloud, I can't see this model. Well, maybe it
would work for all new stuff you create starting today. At that rate,
the backups would be small and gradual.
Do you guys think we will all come to depend on the cloud for backing
up all our data? Does it make sense for us data hogs? Hey, I know it
doesn't make sense for some of YOU data hogs! :)
