That's right. The initial backup would be in the region of 200GB
potentially and I can't imagine exceeding a few hundred megs a day tops
(typically a hell of a lot less).

I want a cheap solution so I think I'm going to go with having a USB
drive and finding a remote location to use rsync and ssh with the server
as acting as a gateway.

With that said what about the initial sync with the server from the
Windows machines? Does rsync work or are there any FLOSS tools for
Windows?

Cheers again,

Gibbs
