Dolly Drive - Cloud Storage for Time Machine?

[aphex]

I have to say, this seems like a pretty cool thing if it works well. Replaces a local Time Machine backup with a cloud Time Machine, then allows you to use that local time machine drive as a bootable clone drive. This might be exactly what i've been looking for. Its $5 more per month that most of the other services, but I really like keeping my backups offsite and would prefer to keep using the Time Machine interface.

$10/mo for 250gb, with an extea 5gb per month you keep service

Good quick synopsis at TUAW - ARTICLE

Neat idea. I have my family setup on Time Machine + Mozy + SuperDuper (Mac side) and Genie9 Timeline + Mozy + Macrium Reflect (Windows side).

Can you use Time Machine to backup to multiple places, like your local AND network backup locations? My biggest concern is my large video files that I shoot with my dSLR, and my FCP video projects. Local backup is much faster for those, so I'd be interested to see if you could backup to both - local for big projects and remote for everything else, for example.

The 250GB limit is the deal killer for me. I have around 400+GB of stuff I need to backup (mainly my photos).. so I'll keep my Crashplan backup going for now.

It looks like a decent service.. but how do you pull down the stuff through an install disk...?

Kaido in your situation I'd much rather script an rsync cron for specific folders to an online storage. But, it looks like you can do both, as it runs in a prefpane, starting the TM service at will for that specific purpose.
