said by goneplaid:Yes of course, I'm talking about an initial backup. I am a parent. I take photos and videos of my kids. Years of HD video and high res photos taken with a DSLR. Really nothing out of the ordinary in this day and age.
After the initial backup is complete I hope to not worry so much about the limit.
Then again, with all the various media streaming my family does (Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, Pandora) ... I suspect I will need to keep an eye on it.
I use JungleDisk which is also a cloud backup solution. The first backup is a killer but after that it's only changed data. With compression and deduplication (even on the initial backup) I actually only transfer about 50% of the data I back up. In other words, if I back up 50G it only sends 25G (plus or minus) up the pipe. If I restore a file(s) it transfers the entire file as far as I can tell. I don't restore files often.
FWIW I love JungleDisk.
