          our upstream is 1GB per second so it wouldnt take long to transfer 3TB.

                  a 1GB per second connection translates to 100MB per second upload/download
                  in reality you could expect around 80MB per second, thats 288GB transfer per hour
                  about 11 hours total for 3TB.

                      I thought a gig was a thousand meg. But I get confused easily.

                              I use Clone Box from http://www.bettercgi.com

                              Nice thing is that I can bring a server up live from there or use ftp access to recover files.

                                      We have several customers which have a dedicated server with us for backup purposes, that way the data is stored in a completely different facility/network/server etc and gives you also the possibility to restore your site quickly in case your current provider goes belly up or experiences an outage etc.

                                          You can use something like a dedicated server or high priced cloud storage blocks for backup, but I would recommend something designed for the purpose, especially for server backup. You end up with a better better system at a lower cost by using the right tool for the job.

                                          For example, Clonebox takes care of rotating your backups with an innovative algorithm so you always have a copy from this morning, from yesterday, from last week, and from last month. With block level deduplication provided by the system, you don't pay extra for the four increments. Sometimes you want to know what has changed since the backup to see what went wrong on the main system. Clonebox does that comparison for you. In many such ways it's better for backup because that's what it's made for. If you got a backup server, you'd be paying for CPU, RAM, and rack space you're not using. You can boot a Clonebox clone of your server, without paying for those CPUs to sit idle every month. It's the right tool for the job.

                                              A MB (megabyte) is 8 Mb (megabits). The connection is 1024 Mbps (mega BITS), or 1024 / 8 megabytes. That's signaling rate. With two bits overhead, it can transfer about 1024 / 10 MB per second. So Gigabit = 100 megabytes per second max.
