Cloud backup
Surely this points to the biggest problem with the magic of the cloud - most connections have shit upstreams...
For example, I spent the weekend taking pictures - around 8GB worth. A lot of these were photoshoped and saved as PSDs, as well as a JPEG copy for printing out. In total there is about 16GB of data I need to back up.
I can use a 1.5TB external drive over USB or I can squirt my data to the cloud. Considering I am luckly to get a 256kb/s upload speed, which is a realistic option?
Likewise in an emergency I can recover my data off the USB drive at 12Mbps or I can download it from the internet at 3Mbps. Hard choice....
