If that terabyte drive holds little files and the backup program uses incremental backup, a slow upload rate shouldn't be all that painful. Video editors need to look at local-network solutions for their backup, at least until upload rates increase by a factor of 10 or better. It just hit me: when one has just a hammer in his toolbox everything starts to look like nails. Network-based storage could just be one of those.
