Sri for the bandwidth but also have another idea (which I also use).

With the rapid obsolescence of computers, I would bet all of us have
an old spare computer somewhere (really doesn't require much speed,
just a bios recent enough to handle larger disk drives). Download
FREENAS off the net (www.freenas.org I believe) and burn it to a CD.
Plug a few disk drives in the machine, boot the cd and voila you have
a network storage device on your lan. I am using a 4 year old computer
with 4 disk drives on it configured as a JBOD (just a bunch of disks)
which is about a terrabyte of storage I can access from any computer
in my house.

The software can be scheduled to backup what ever day and whatever time such as the middle of the night or whatever you choose.  Should you then have a hard drive failure, you simply put a new drive in the PC and then use the CD with the disaster recovery software on it and all it then will restore every thing to the new drive.  Cost for both the drive and software, normally is less than $100 bucks.
