Choosing numbers closest to my current catalog & closest upload speed it
would take:
37 Days 0 Hours 36 Minutes 11.76 Seconds to upload (575Gb at 1.544 Mbps).
Actually, it would take longer than that, because I don't get 1.55Mbps
upload speed. On a good day it's 1.10Mbps.
I could probably trim a little time by only uploading Raw (DNG) and
Working (PSD) files & just planning on recreating output (JPG) files if
I ever needed to reload from an on-line backup.
I'm on Time-Warner Cable, and I ain't NEVER gonna' get anything like
100Mbps.
Gonna' have to look for something though because my current off-site
backup plan is kaput.

You can certainly do what you like, Ralf, but there are plenty of
paranoid pro photographers who like the insurance of keeping another
copy of their catalog.
Here is a file transfer calculator, for those who would like to know
how long it would take.

According to that it looks like 1 TB would upload on a 100mbps
connection in about 24.5 hrs. Or, 1/3 TB during 3 nights of sleep. I
leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine how many
overnights would be needed for 5 TB.

Rather something for people taking JPEGs with their smartphones. I don't see
myself putting around 5 TB of photos online, not even with my 100 mbps fibre
connection.
