Does the data have to go over the wire, or could you just buy a few 1TB USB drives and send them back and forth? Sending a few...

First off thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I wasn't expecting but maybe 1 or 2 and of that probably not anything I could implment because of various restrictions....
