Nope, but I'm watching. It seems that with a terabyte disk drive going
for $40 (or something like that), you could get more than 100GB for a
reasonable amount. I'd be looking at backing up 400-500 GB, for example,
although I guess I'm kind of a packrat.


That seems like a lot of stuff to have to push up through an internet
connection.

And are you looking for a _backup_ solution or a replica of your data?
A backup should have chronological recovery, so you can recover the
file from last Tuesday before you messed it up on Wednesday.

I've got a client with about 75 G of files stored on their file
server. They worked with their hosting provider to add another disk at
the hosting site. We plan to bring a portable disk onsite and copy all
of the files, move it to the hosting provider, dump it onto their
disk, and set the hosting provider's disk with replication via ssh and
rsync. Most of the documents are fairly static, so diffs each night
should be manageable.
