I need disaster backup for my home NAS. Not backup. Not archiving. But, disaster backup. I have about 300gb of critical data, mostly family photos and a few gb of other stuff. I am not a business so I do not need business level services nor the pricing of them like ReadyNAS Vault. If it takes me a month or 2 or 3 for initial upload that's fine so I don't need to take a lot of your bandwidth. I don't even need frequent downloads. A NAS will handle 99.9% of my backup/recovery/archive needs. I just need an online solution in case my house burns down or something else completely takes out my entire NAS.
I don't need immediate restore except for maybe a very few small files like Quicken. Otherwise if it takes me a few months to re-download my family photo's after our house burns down that's fine so I don't need high bandwidth here either. I have the better photo's on smugmug anyway. Perhaps you could charge me $150 + $1/Gb to dump the rest to a drive and send it to me if my house burns. Insurance might even cover that for me so let's say $3/gb.
I just need something like Carbonite, ElephantDrive, or Mozy home editions but for my NAS. I'd even be willing to pay a $75/yr premium. But I'm not willing to pay the over $1k annual premium for business services I don't need. I know you've heard this before, but just thought I'd add my name to the chorus.
Thanks for listening (or not).
