Hmm. Just curious, do people generally backup 100TB of data, or once most
reach this point they have to hope that it's just hardware failures they'll
deal with and not software/other issues?

100TB sounds like a lot of backup media and time... Not to mention ensuring
that the backups will work with available and functioning backup hardware.

Head hurts just to think about it,
