Am 10. Jul, 2013 schwätzte Betty I so: moin moin betty,
I have 1 Tb drive that I usually take up there and rsync as needed. I keep that drive in a safe if i'm not taking it up there. That way unless both my houses burn down, not too likely (since there's no fuel up there anymore) or get buried in a mudslide... i should still have a backup.
Since you have two locations, you could be your own cloud. Even if it's just dialup up there, you can rsync if you have patience. Carry a copy the first time, then just copy up changes over the network.
Speeds are pretty slow up there. there is only satellite or dial up (hah!) or verizon hot spot. Also I don't trust cloud back ups. (i came of age in the 60's).
So you'll also want to make sure the data is encrypted at least at whichever place you generally consider to be the remote location.
I'll be getting verizon in November, so i'll be able to tell how the speeds are then.
The issue with a cell provider is that you'll run into maximum data transfers, but they might be more than you could possible transfer with a modem in a month :).
From going up there today, i can tell you the presence of helping agencies is incredible. County, red cross, salvation army, churches, even the buddhists ! really nice.
