The problem with this kind of backup scheme for photographers is that the utility in having a backup is huge, but the cost of doing that backup at the bandwidth the photographers need is ludicrous.
We have worked with many designers and photographers, and all of them have the same problem - they can generate hundreds of gigabytes of important resources in almost no time at all, and even with a relatively solid pipe normal backup solutions just don't work.
What they really need is a bulletproof storage device that can be transported to a safe location when it needs to be. LaCie has some products in this space, but they don't offer the service that the customer needs - reliable, accessible storage.
The real solution is tape drives. Try to sell an Ultrium drive to a designer, though.
