Well, I thought we were talking about nightly BBS backups or something.

Sounds like you're talking about a media server or similar.  I recently 
bought a couple of 8TB Seagate Barracuda 3.5" SATA spinning rust drives 
for that very purpose.  Slap them in an unused tower or something, or 
even connect them via a USB3-to-SATA adapter to an active computer, and 
let it rip.  It's not "cloud" storage, but it's a safety copy.  Getting 
that much capacity in the cloud would indeed be expensive, irregardless 
of connection speed or bandwidth caps.  Works for me.
