Ah, the joys of online backup
What all of these vendors fail to tell people
is that there is not enough bandwidth for large
backups such as yours. It makes fulls near
impossible within a reasonable amount of time.

That said, you may want to try a copy of Backup
Exec System Recovery.

Backup to a removeable disk target
(USB,firewire,NAS,ETC), and have it send a 2nd
copy via FTP somewhere in the one job policy.
At that point you're paying for web hosting
space, or a buddy's Internet connection.

D/L the trial, I think it's only about $60 or
so MSRP, which you can later turn into a
purchased copy.
