How can any online backup company afford to offer "unlimited" backups? Doesn't "unlimited" mean unlimited? Can't I store as many files as a want, use up as much bandwidth as I like, and eat terabytes of storage space for just $4.95/month?

The general public is just now comfortable sending their data to a reputable and well-protected data center. They will never be as comfortable storing their data on their friends' computers.

Two of the most common questions I am asked by new Online Backup Service Providers are, "How much should I charge," and "How much storage space should I offer?" The answers have huge impact on profitability and marketability, and have been among the most difficult to answer - until now.

I’m in the Online Backup business; Not as a provider of online backup services, but as vendor of software and services for companies who, themselves, provide Online Backup services to end users.
