I don't see Jochem's post so I guess gmail sucked it up. The cost to upgrade the speed for what they use it for I'm told isn't worth it to them. I've already attempted mirroring data to another machine that can then be downloaded through ftp all day long but I don't think I can do this everywhere.

Well, if they have a really slow connection and a very large amount (~50G) of data, you're really unlikely to find a satisfactory online solution. Even with incrementals you're going to have to start somewhere and that initial backup might be painful. The rsync to the cloud idea from Jochem is not a bad one if you find the time it takes acceptable. You can also rsync to/from alot of NAS appliances. You could drop one of those onsite or connect to it from offsite. At a certain point the cost (in time and aggravation) of dealing with this over a slow connection is greater than the cost of just upgrading the DSL connection to have a faster upspeed. Have they priced a faster connection? -Camero ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
