What they don't tell you until you look at the fine print is that they throttle your data after 200GB to a trickle: 100 kbps (kilobits per second) To backup 300 GB at this rate would take a year. While this is long, it may be worth it to have such a safe storage solution offsite. For a large 600GB collection this should take > 6 months. ![]() Up until 200GB, the program backed up about 3GB per day.
