Dell PowerEdge C2100 with 24 Drive bays
- 
 At those speeds you don't care about the write penalties of the RAID 6, you just need enough performance to take the WAN pipe speeds, which is almost nothing. 
- 
 At least for weekly full backups. But if we only backup the primary drive (once a month) We would reduce our storage needs, as well as bandwidth needs.

 (30MBps pipe Asymetric) ...I assume you mean 30Mb/s. 30MB/s is 240Mb/s!! That would be pretty awesome. If asymmetric, what is the full speed up and down? 
- 
 30 Up and down. Each way, is that not asymmetric? 
- 
 Mb/s sorry yeah not 30MB/s

 Symmetric means "same in all directions." Asymmetric literally just means "not symmetric." 
- 
 Sorry. Either way it would still take ~ 22 days to perform an off-site full.

 Correct usage.... Check that girl out, she is hot, her face is so symmetric! versus Dude, that girl is all wonky, her face is totally asymmetric! 
- 
 Which obviously isn't reasonable

 I'm starting a new topic as this one has diverged from the goal, as well as to clarify my thoughts.

 Weird how these things come in groups. Had someone else a day later try to use a Dell C series too.
