I’m sure their backups are in as good a condition as their trucks and nuclear missiles.
I work with huge data pools like this and IDK what your backups look like, this is going to cause a massive issue. Even with my crazy fast network with fiber channel connections, it still takes lots of time to move a TB of data. And unless its on tape or in a secured space, it probably cant be trusted.
This was massive. Glory to Ukraine!
150TB??? Holy fuck. I wonder what sort of stuff one institution even stores in 150TB of data?
There are some in the datahoarder community pushing a PB.
They mostly store Linux ISOs.
150TB doesn’t seem like a lot for a whole university. Am I missing something?
When I was in school we had 1tb onedrive subscriptions provided by the school for about 3k people not including teachers. 150tb does seem quite small unless each student only gets 250gb or 500gb of storage
When I was in school, back in the day, we had about 10 GB of storage for ~10,000 students.
We allowed 100 MB per student, but didn’t have even remotely enough space for them all to use that much. Probably 50-60% never even logged in.
Yes we backed it up to tape and could restore it as needed.
Was this in the late 90s?
Why yes it was!
I award you 10 Internet points for your skill.
