You should be very careful with anything you put on
Look at their T &C's. I believe they have the right to doanything
they want with data stored in Dropbox, though it would beharder to
use i data vs. PC files.<midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx>,

We currently have around 750GB used space on a 1.2TBsystem. We do a

restore so much easier. We do a full system save monthly.If we made
this change I would still do the system save and have itlocal, off

of driving the tapes to the vault daily, replicate thebackup to the cloud.

If you were replicating to a remote server or partitionONLY that one

ALSO COnsider that until the ENTIRE

With replication you're current off site almostcontinuously.
