Backblaze is great, but if it doesn't see an external drive for 30 days, it drops the drive's contents from the storage pool. iDisk is great, too, but mine is maxed-out at 60GB and that isn't big enough. I need a place I can store a lot of data offsite long-term, and pay a monthly fee for.

On the other hand, perhaps I should set up my own offsite server somewhere. I welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Terrabytes off-site?
I wonder what kind of download speed you have. Will you have the time to download the backup if a 500GB drive goes south and your mix continues the next day?
Just wondering what people find so usefull about cloud storage as a backup medium.
