Comment on I've started offering an online backup service with SFTP, rsync and more.

1. The tech details are great. However, maybe not on the first page. I understood them, but do people that use for example Mozy.com know what RAID6 is? A picture is worth 1k words.

2. What are your typical upload/download speeds? What could I expect in terms of latency?

3. I would suggest that people set up their own encryption before they upload the file(s). I don't think many people have considered that as an option.

Added a link with more RAID6 info and a diagram.

Speeds can go up to 100mbps, but it varies based on how busy the server is, distance between your server and RB servers. You can ping bishop.royalbackup.com to get a rough idea of latency.
