Oh sure there is. What happens when you use Carbonite or one of the other online backup services and needed a full restore? I bet the average home user, considering one to three or four PCs, could easily have a few terabytes of data. A 500G disk dies and you restore a backup. Bingo, you’re pegging the meter for quite a while. Or even routine backups. On my Mac, after an average day at the office, my Time Machine backup runs anywhere from 1 to 10 gigabytes. If I were to run a Carbonite-type backup when I got home, that’s a substantial chunk. -Andy
