That being said, I have no idea how the online backup works so no idea what the process is or how long it takes.

For an online backup you wouldn't be doing 100GB a day (in fact I think running constantly you could probably only upload 8GB in a day for Shaw's 1Mbit upload), it would only upload the changed files, which is typically pretty low since it's just documents, maybe email files, some images, etc.. So it might take a couple of weeks to get all the data uploaded the first time, but once there it'd be able to keep up unless you generate 8GB of brand new data every day.
Unless you are a graphic arts shop with huge files, but only taking 45 minutes to mirror the data drive tells me no to that
