Let's not get carried away with calling this proposal 'cloud backup'. IMHO 
you're offering offsite backup.

For something to be "cloud" you should look at NIST (or similar definitions), 
which include elements like "rapid elasticity", "user self-service", "broad 
network access" and "measured service":

Yes, DR.

Their Internet connection download is 10MBps, the size of their backups is 
400+GB total, the smallest being Exchange DB @ 50GB, and if I am restoring 
their SBS VM it's 350GB plus another 200GB for their SQL VM. If  could get the 
liability sorted, it would be far easier to have it backup to my shop, and 
recovery would be a matter of me bringing in the drive with the backups. I have 
unlimited space at my web host so I could back up to that but still the 
download from there --> my lab (25MBps) is 10+ hours.

I have their local backups going to two places onsite (a RAID1 USB 3.0 drive + 
their other non-hyper-V capable server), my concern is building-wide DR need, 
kind of goes along with my "spare server" conversation a couple weeks ago.

Very unlikely yes, but I still feel the "not covered from that angle" twinge.

Why would retrieval take that long?  Are you talking more about disaster 
recovery?

Does backup to cloud even matter if the time to retrieve it spans 20+ hours? If 
I were to consider hosting a clients' backups at my location, where do I go to 
find what liabilities I need to worry about. Coincidentally the client in mind 
is a law firm of all places...
