Dell PowerEdge C2100 with 24 Drive bays

At those speeds you don't care about the write penalties of the RAID 6, you just need enough performance to take the WAN pipe speeds, which is almost nothing.
 - 
At least for weekly full backups. But if we only backup the primary drive (once a month)
We would reduce our storage needs, as well as bandwidth needs.

(30MBps pipe Asymetric) ...I assume you mean 30Mb/s. 30MB/s is 240Mb/s!! That would be pretty awesome.
If asymmetric, what is the full speed up and down?
 - 
30 Up and down.
Each way, is that not asymmetric?
 - 
Mb/s sorry yeah not 30MB/s

Symmetric means "same in all directions."
Asymmetric literally just means "not symmetric."
 - 
Sorry.
Either way it would still take ~ 22 days to perform an off-site full.

Correct usage....
Check that girl out, she is hot, her face is so symmetric!
versus
Dude, that girl is all wonky, her face is totally asymmetric!
 - 
Which obviously isn't reasonable

I'm starting a new topic as this one has diverged from the goal, as well as to clarify my thoughts.

Weird how these things come in groups. Had someone else a day later try to use a Dell C series too.
