internet connections to synchronize the two nodes of your SAN system 
but there would be a way of carrying a USB thumb drive back and forth 
in order to accelerate the movement of data.

What is your opinion of Drobo vs RAID vs JBOD as storage and 
backup?  The SAN sounds good but I would have to get an IT person to 
set it up for me.  How expensive would that be and would I be able to 
maintain it myself?
