Hehe, with the improvements in internet connections nowadays, we almost stopped transferring backups via sneakernet. Calculating the transfer speed of the internet connection vs. the speed calculating miles per hour, internet almost always won lately. :-) Most internet connections are faster than even USB sticks these days. LAN connections tailored towards storage are even fast then ordinary hard disks (i.e. SAN). Nice fun fact, tho. If go "a station wagon full", it probably still holds true today. -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred.
