Richard -

How much data?  I'm using rsync to back up the work T1 to the home cable
modem, and it's damn near transparent.  It's not a lot of data, by any
means - only about 10 gb - but between rsynch just backing up the changed
stuff and compression, it transfers in less than half an hour.  It works so
well I'm actually doing it three times a day.
