Talkiet: I just phoned them as well to see if they would be a feasible option for me if I needed to change. The guy I spoke to sounded knowledgable and was very helpful and honest about their offering.

Unfortunately it turns out their fair use policy would preclude me using the service as their unlimited offering isn't actually unlimited...

They did point out they have commercial offerings suitable for my level of storage, and in fact highlighted a really nice feature to seed the initial backup with a couriered hard drive (great idea!) but just beware that unlimited is significantly less than unlimited in this case.

(No judgement of the quality of their service here - and in fact I thoroughly appreciate they are being careful to maintain a sustainable business model)

Just wondering how much disk you would need that the policy would imply excludes you from this solution and what would you be changing from?

SOS Online Backup is very good as well according to PC Mag and user reviews are in favor of them as well. Below is a PC Mag 20% discount link if anyone wants to check it out.

My current backup provider is Backblaze.

I'm a photographer in my spare time and I use a VERY fast, high resolution camera and shoot sports in RAW.

My site is www.nzsnaps.com

This is a screenshot of the Backblaze client and the properties of my 2003-2011 folders... As you can see there's over 1TB of photo backup alone, and in total including all other files about 1.25TB
