20 users per TB.  Delete one user just to make sure your server never 
fills to completely full, and you've got 19 users at $10 per month 
each, or $190 per month per TB of storage space used.  While sounds 
like a great deal considering the cost of the drive (even server 
quality drive), don't forget the transit and the costs of the 
datacenter, always-on availability, etc.

We've looked at selling backup from time to time, and this is the same 
general price point we've been looking at.
