[aklug] Offsite data backup storage for small Alaska business?

Hey all, another IT/business question for the lists: What do small
businesses in Alaska usually do for offsite data backup storage? (We are
in Fairbanks.) We've got about 300GB right now on a NAS RAID array. We
don't have a tape system or anything fancy like that. In theory I could
stream it out to any online backup service, but I calculate that'd burn
about 10 hours and a month's worth of data (on our plan). Guess I could
just throw a portable drive in a safe box, but it seems like that'd be a
lot of trouble even for weekly backups. The great thing would be if I
could drive somewhere to do the initial download, then do diffs or
something remotely. (Maybe get a storage account with UAF...? Or would
it be madness to put commercial data on a university network?)
