Does anyone have this type of unit? I am a photographer and would like to setup an offsite storage that I could back up to regularly. Could I plug this into a cable modem at another location and upload files to it with backup software? Is the Infrant significantly better than the Buffalo Terrastation? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

If you need offsite backup, you're best off going for one of the Internet-based backup services.
If you're going to do it yourself, you'll need a cable modem/router with a fixed IP, or a DynDNS account. If you're going to use the supplied backup software, you'll need a VPN connection so the router will need to support VPN connections to it. Alternatively you can use FTP which would be simpler. Either way, an internet-based remote backup service is going to be much less hassle to use, and you'll also have access to previous versions of the file, etc.
