[AccessD] Off-Site Backup

Agreed on all counts.  I think web backup is great for some types of backup,
specifically files such as company documents or pictures.  I must say that
security would be a concern of mine though.  With all the issues of data
theft...

...looked a number of times but the first problem was always been the length
of time required to backup 40+ gigs over the net ...doesn't matter who the
vendor is ...it would require days, not hours, over dsl for the first full
backup and then incrementals can take hours themselves.

...but the real problem to me is system restoration on fail ...if file
backup were my only consideration then web might be feasible ...but if the
server fails and your only backup is the web then you're looking at a very,
very long outage vs an hour fom tape and minutes from a hard disk b/u.
