    I couldn't do other the net backups...You figure...if you have a 384kb/s upload on your connection...it's going to take more than 6 hours to upload 1GB...and I backup near 180GB/night...just not feasible for me.

    Wtf, 180GB every nite? Why do you need to backup that much data? That is a lot of data that I never had to or care to deal with....my most critical data (files, pics and MP3s) would not take more than 10GB of spaces tops!
    If you are dealing with that much data then you know you have to use an external drive and keep it in the garage/car, etc. but again if you are dealing with that much 'critical' data, no matter what method you pick, it will have some cons...

    PS. A friend of mine and I thought about settings up to file servers at each others house so we both could backup locally and also remotely. There are 3rd part software that can be used or set them up as IIS servers or something.
