Steven, this is probably not directly relevant to you, since you're located in Australia, but I just noticed that CrashPlan has an approach to dealing with the massive upload problem similar to Amazon's Import/Export service. They send you a 1TB drive. You load it up with your data and send it back and they use it to populate your back up. (see "Seed Initial Backup" on http://b2.crashplan.com/consumer/store.vtl ) That part of the process isn't cheap, but at least the ongoing costs are quite low.
