Two weeks?  During a live shoot, 256MB lasts a couple hours.

Transfer time and any per-byte charges might make FTP unapealing.

There are also flash memory card to CD-R writers.  Simple to use,
they directly copy memory card(s) contents to CD-R(s) for archival
storage.  A couple models are:

    Alera Digital Photo Copy Cruiser, $200
    Apacer Disc Steno CP200, $300

Then you could make 2 copies of each memory card before you erase
the original and reuse the card.
