Backup 20TB of Data?  You can easily do it cheaper with tape,
$50 for an LTO4 drive, $400 for 20 tapes, and $5/month for a
safe deposit box. You can double the number of tapes if you
always want to have a copy offsite (vs retrieving the tapes,
updating the contents and moving them offsite again) and still
come out significantly cheaper.  Comment: Re:Similar Situation

Backup 20TB of Data?  You can get an LTO4 SAS drive for ~$50 on
ebay, they do 800GB native per tape, so typically ~1.2TB per
tape for mixed content (obviously if it's all compressed media
it will be much closer to native). 10-20 tapes doesn't seem that
bad (we send that many offsite daily). The tapes will cost you
~$20 each unless you're willing to go used (ewww).  Comment:
