I'd be curious to hear as well. But maybe a private message with
details would be better suited.
As for Andrew's comments, this is more or less what I was picturing.
Except it'd be a relatively cheap NAS from Memex, on some employee's
home connection (likely the owner) and set up to do rsync nightly. The
box is populated in the office to start with... Still, I like that the
more professional option is out there.
Any other solutions for this sort of thing?

Hi Shawn,
For something of this size I've always found that the price of cloud
storage to be insane. Amazon for instance would be about $380 a month for 4
TB. The more cost effective way of doing it is to host it on your own hardware
in an offsite location. In terms of the initial seeding of the 4tb, the
easiest/quickest way of doing it is to make a local copy of your data, ship
that copy to the offsite location, and copy the data locally at that point.
Otherwise you could be looking at several weeks to transfer that amount, as you
would want to throttle your upload during business hours, instead of running
full out 24 hours a day, and crippling your business internet.
I suppose I should throw out there, that the company I work for offers
co-located NAS storage in downtown Calgary, with a dedicated VPN link to your
site, for exactly this type of scenario. Use whatever method you prefer for
transferring the files over the VPN, there is no vendor lock in, the only
limitation is that the space provided is for a typical 4 to 6 bay NAS. If you
were thinking of building your own rack mount box than the co-lo prices would
be more expensive.
