My usage pattern is slightly different.  More dynamic then what has been 
discussed, but not terribly so.  I don't have numbers to give but I know 
some of what I back up will be deleted.  Most of it relatively small 
files.  A few of them massive.

That sounds good to me.  But I don't know that I would turn it 
completely off.  Maybe so high that it is effectively off but not 
really.  Like 1 year.
