451 degrees Fahrenheit.


Think of the Ray Bradbury book _Fahrenheit 451_. Of course, the book
is called Celcius 233 in Europe. :)

Assuming you connect to your remote server using a VPN connection, and
can connect to the backup medium using Windows Networking (NetBT), then
to handle the strong security/encryption part, try Freeware Truecrypt

<http://www.truecrypt.org>

As for the Backup program, you might want to try the built-in Windows
Backup program. I'm not sure how it fares with your requirements,
though...
Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Backup.

It doesn't get much cheaper.

Your ISP may not appreciate you sending 500G a few times a month. Even
unlimited accounts have limits.

I'm using PGP 6.5.8 (freeware), and have had some success using it on
a LAN. I wonder if it would work over the internet. It should be
secure enough that you could use pretty much anything to do your
transfer.

Have you looked at rsync?

It can transport over ssh encrypted channels and moves only the changed
data. It's optimized for slow (as in WAN) links.
