Most of the on-line backup places (like Carbonite) are just way too slow to work. It will take you months or years just to do the backup if you have files from a few years of photography
I have over 750,000 MBs of data on Backblaze. The initial upload takes from days to a week or more (depending on your upload speed). Once that is done then it keeps up as you add files to your disk.
When I did my initial upload I never even noticed Backblaze working in the background. I do have a very fast cable connection so my uploads are quick. This type of cloud storage was unthinkable in the dial up days.
Everything is moving to the cloud. It\'s inevitable.
I have over 6 TB of data to backup. Then the low cost places are too slow. Both to upload. Or getting back if you would loose everything. i have tried and used 3 of those low cost online comapanies before. And it\'s not my connection. I have 100 mb/s broadband.
This is what Backblaze say on their website:
\"If your computer is online, on a typical high-speed home Internet connection, you will be able to backup approximately 2 to 4 GB per day\"
It\'s the same as Carbonite had when I used them. It will take years to upload just one large hard drive
And just to upload a typical 32GB CF card after one day shooting will take nearly 3 weeks
