I was thinking of a rack mounted server/NAS that you put in a portable rack with wheels/casters.
I have visions of @scottalanmiller wandering around The Coliseum dragging a rack attached to a piece of rope.
What is the project, by the way? It sounds interesting.
lol, a bit like this?:

This is cool, would love to see a project writeup after all is said and done.

It's the video component of this...
-
2x 6TB externals w/ USB3 or eSATA - dump to both (expect 1 to die during all the moving around), up to the cloud when you have the time / bandwidth.

This just happened this morning so looking into this. Sadly our current upload speeds are terrible and so will only help so much, but it is a start.
-
There is a three month free trial so I am totally checking it out.
-
First files are uploading now. There does not appear to be a throttle option, though, which sucks. I would really like to have had that.

Can you do that on the router level? Throttle all traffic going to AWS? Or do you use Amazon Instant Video and the like?
-
I don't have access to the router. I just rent the house.

Seriously? Have you tried the default login?

I have actually used ownCloud for file Syncing and such. It really does work really well. The sky is the limit as far as what you can store and all that fun stuff. Syncing your files with a bad upload connection will be the biggest problem, no matter what option you go with...
Also, would something like BackBlaze work? Better warn them up front what you are doing, lol.

Not everyone is into illicit access to other peoples stuff

If he backs up the config and restores it if and when he leaves, what's the problem?

Besides, if someone can't be bothered to change the default router password, I put that on them.

The problem is that he doesn't have the right to do this. Period. Now, if he asks the owner, perhaps they will allow him, otherwise he could be in huge trouble.

Ideally I want to offload the data not store here. The issue with BackBlaze, which I like a lot as a backup service, is that you need to have all of the storage connected all of the time. I can't do that. I have several USB drives to hold the stuff until it is backed up. But they can't all be connected all of the time for BB to upload the data

I have an ownCloud to use, but it doesn't the capacity that I need.

If someone leaves the key to their house IN the front door (on the outside, are you allowed to turn it and enter?

Not sure how or why. As long as it's back to the way it was for the next bloke, but whatever.
