If I lost the RAW file from a job 5 years ago, it's not gonna be a big deal. The cost of Crashplan is an afterthough but the upload speed is a too slow. May be I should prioritize my backup so that the new stuff will get backed up first. Thanks for the suggestions, they really help.

As I mentioned, if you have another location to do your backups to - a friends or relatives house you can backup to their location for free. You can create the initial backup at your house and then bring the hard drive to their house and attach it. No 9 month (or 2 month) waiting period.
600GB a year, is 50GB a month, so you need to ensure they have bandwidth available to use this - Anything on Shaw higher than Regular would be sufficient.
However, if you want to stick with the online solution: If you do want to prioritize the recent stuff, you could make date sorted folders and then attach them to the backup separately as the previous folder is completed. I dont think there is a built in prioritization solution.
