Offsite backup option question?

[jimthebob]

Long story short I would like to get an offsite backup setup for my server. The only problem is our wonderful overlords at Comcast have set a one terabyte limit each month for transfers. So my question is, is it possible for me to create my server and backup solution at home, run the initial backup, and then move the server off site then implement incremental backups weekly to save on initially bandwidth usage? Software options for this? Thanks guys!

Yes. Off the shelf NASes have this kind of thing built in

I don't want an off the shelf solution though, I have extra computers laying around I'd like to take advantage of!

The answer is still yes.

As long as you have a collocation facility to send the box and have the requisite bandwidth you might require at both ends then there is no problem. If you go with ZFS at both ends, Send/Receive makes backup simple or you could use some other method.

Home server would be windows 7 as well as remote server. And thank u guys but more than a generic comment would be helpful. Software names, methods, guides, etc.
