2 terabytes? They could run the New York Stock Exchange with less

than that. ;-)

We keep and use old files from several years ago. Some design files
are
30 gigs or so. Add to that files from others on the design teams,
plus
spreadsheets, correspondence, and on and on.


I have four two terabyte drives in my server, with one of those
drives
running a compressed backup of what is on the other three drives.

I think I about two terabytes of data on the server which consists
of
backups of the three computers in the house, folders for archives,
about
750 GB of movies, et cetera. I do nightly backups of my desktop,
plus
weekly backups of my wife's computer and my laptop. I also run an
apple
Time Machine backup of my desktop computer to a separate external
one
terabyte drive.

Pull the plug and you have nothing.



Also have a 17KW generator and a buried 500 gallon LP gas tank.
