It would've taken me quite some time to back up the entire contents of my mirror. Comcast caps me at 250GB a month - to upload 2 TB, if I used the connection for nothing else, would take 8 months - and that's if nothing changed.I looked at a few similar competitors to Carbonite, some of which would even send you an external drive to 'get started' that you fill and ship back to them, and then they upload it to your storage space - but the current way I'm doing it gives me a lot of control, and the only real expense, other than the 35 bucks a year for the safe deposit box, is the drives.If I buy a bunch of drives next year, it'll be an expensive year for me - but I bought all the 2 TB drives about 4 years ago, so I've 'absorbed' it over several years of use.</blockquote>
