But their vault is thru S3 and it would cost me $99/month for less data than if I went directly thru S3. An external drive with that much storage costs under $150 and affords a much better data transfer rate. I have been doing this for many years, rotating three drives between office and

Maybe you can make Mozy work for you. Once it's all backed up won't your additions and changes be minimal? A total restore would take a long time too but would be do-able if you didn't mind waiting. The saying: Time is money applies here I guess... I suppose that's true but I'm afraid

Does your backup need to be online (i.e. over the Internet)? It sounds like you might be better served by using an external (USB, Firewire, or eSATA) hard-disk. Get a 500GB unit (or more, prices are coming down, and your data will only increase over time). Actually, get two. Then, after

For your wife, I would recommend Mozy Home. It's transparent with a decent user interface, it's free up to a certain size, cheap after that, you can have a private key or one that can be recovered from Mozy.You just can't do filesharing... only backup and restore. db Wayne Dernoncourt
