Backups of Media? How do you handle it?
Xiong Chiamiov:
Backups are for lesser mortals. When I accidentally trashed my LVM, I had to redownload a bunch of stuff - other than my ISP getting a little angry, it wasn't particularly an issue. Not worth the cost to have enough disks to make a backup for me.

Not everyone has the same bandwidth as you. For 55$ a month I have 60Gb available to download. To redownload a couple terrabytes would be expensive, might as well have a backup at 1$ per overage.

Who's your provider? Where do you live?

Toronto, Ontario. Bell legacy plan.
Wonderful... the 30$ charge is added to the 60 as overage.

Contact them and contact other Internet providers in your area and see their plans about Business Class and see what Tiers they offer. It should cost you roughly about 20% more to get unlimited bandwidth and to have all ports open and possibly if your lucky you get static IP which is somewhat good. Just make sure you confirm the unlimited bandwidth and the all ports being opened. I would do that first thing in the morning if I were you.
