I have the space and capacity at our DC in Vaughan. The problem I see is having someone meet you there every week to exchange disks. A lot of the guys like us are only in and out of the DC at random times. That is a lot of data to be moving every week. @250GB, you need a sustained uplink of 3.

The question is at what rate are the videos created. Because if its sparatic then I would create a rsync config and then push them around to multiple locations during off peak times. I am guessing these are surveillance videos. You also might want to try and splice them into 10 or 15 minute chunks

That is an option but the problem with this is long turnaround time. Ideally, I'd like a service where I can just drive up with a USB drive or a drive in a server caddy and leave it for uploading. On Thu, Jul 25, 2013 at 6:24 PM, Nabeel Jafferali wrote: > Can't you ship it to them? > > http://

Hello all. Can anyone suggest a solution to my problem? I need to upload 150-250GB of data to Amazon S3 per week. I don't have an appropriate connection available to do this from home or office. How would you guys go about this? Regards, Alex
