Using the internet as a backup for TBs of data is a real bad idea. How long does it take to download even 1GB of data? Longer than I am willing to wait. Especially if a hard drive fails and takes 2000GB of data with it. Certainly one could pay for overnight shipment of 2TB of data on a hard drive. I expect the hard drive will cost $200+, the labor for the site to move your data to the hard drive and mail it off another $100.

Someone mentioned that ripping a DVD should only take 1 minute. That is 500 minutes for a 2TB hard drive - at least the way I rip movies. My billing rate is over $1/minute ($60/hr). If you can do all the ripping at the best speed, $500 seems a bit much to spend because you are not willing to spend $100 for a backup hard drive.
Time has a value. More than most think.I cannot imagine ripping all my DVDs again.

All of your business records are duplicated. An original and 3 copies in house. A copy in a detached building. A copy in an employee's car/house. 5 copies under $600 in hardware - hard drives and cases.
