Digital BW, The Print

That is 1.5 Mb (mega-bit not mega-byte). Notice the small "b" I used.

> I would suggest that you do a test using actual data to see if you can really upload 1.5MB per second.. I would doubt that you can really accomplish that unless your darn near next door to their server and have paid for a premium connection. Anyway that is 90 MB per minute and dude that is a smoking upload speed. Just to give you a sense of it.. File types have something to do with speeds so most specks are arrived at by using text files as they move easier then image files.. The new USB standard 2.O supports about 30 MB per second and they claim many USB flash drives like Corsair.. but most actually get maybe 10MBS max.. an dthis stuff is tied directy to your bus in teh puter. Remember USB 1.1 that  spec topped out at 1 MBS per second ...Anyway do a test with a 60/100 MB graphic file and let us know how long it takes to upload to a real source not one of these speed test things you can do.. 
> I have what for me is a pretty good system I think.. It was a pain in the ass to set up and not cheap.. My biggest night mare is data management.. We do scanning for both customers and my own use. Just added a scan back as a late xmas present for teh 4x5. I'm trying to manage my own image files which include scans from film and direct digital. Then we print for artists and ourselves.. so lots of print files. I guess I'm trying to say literally tons of files. Anyway we use a multi disk Raid system  in the studio which is mirrored in the house 75 feet away in real time. Then I still put my personal money shots onto a 32GB Corsairs that sit in a safe deposit box. Which by the way I just had my first failure on one of them.... Totally freaked me out..  Anyway the last item might work out great on an on line thing.. It's 35 miles to my safe deposit box :-(

At home Mozy took about two weeks for 102.4 GB. Hmmmmmm, any chance CrashPlan has bandwidth restrictions?
