Hard Drive backup with... well... hard drives!


An article on Tom's Hardware details the project in Germany to build a 70TB (that's 70,000,000,000,000 bytes) back up system with hard drives.

Amusingly, I was just this lunch talking about a "drive robot" that I was suggesting would be a more efficient (speed and cost) mechanism than using DLT and LTO-1 tapes (LTO-2 are still cheaper now).
