    Jesus Christ, what happened to P2P? Just have the files in constant circulation through the world’s computers. And 50TB, while a lot, isn’t beyond the reach of a well-heeled private individual to host on a NAS.

      50TB is not a lot, it’s actually a capacity that some homelabers and data hoarders have or surpass.

        It’s a lot if you were trying to source the hardware with today’s process, but 5 years ago that would be nothing to an organisation.

          It’s a 4-digit number, even today, to build a 50tb local backup box. Absolutely nothing to a company. They were simply lazy and didn’t do the bare minimum.
