The problem with cloud b/u is it takes so bloody long. We take a ton of pictures and since I bought a GoPro and a Mobius Camera for use on quadcopters or holidays, I've been generating a ton of video too. Even with the new Shaw 150 plan, the upload is only 15mb. And that's before getting into cloud storage limits.

That's the main thing I really liked about WHS, with a few clicks, you can easily backup folders on your server to an external drive in a matter of maybe 15 mins, disconnect that drive and take it to work to keep it safe.

In my case, I'm not really backing up my backup. I don't keep any pictures, videos or music on my PC. I bought WHS for central storage, everything goes on it so everyone in my house can access them.
