You can backup about 1GB overnight when the remote site has standard ADSL. Maybe push that that 2GB if they have 800Kbps uploading and you use compression. The server I have at work has about 250GB+ worth of data and a poor upload speed. It will get there but the fact it changes daily doesn't help!

I agree - I was responding more to the part of providing a hosting service from home. If he wants to host from home that's fine but I wouldn't deploy anything worthy there! Even with unmanaged VPS services you still don't take responsibility for hardware issues, power cuts, electricity etc which is a lot less hassle. I can still remember the buzz I got from assembling and getting my own server running the first time so I definitely don't want to discourage it! Gibbs |
