Folks with big ISP's/search engines tend to have between 750 GB and 1.5 TB
of storage, depending on their size. Numerous corporate enterprises around
here are near the TB range right now. I heard on the radio about one new
internet startup that brought up 775 GB of RAID their first day.
It used to be that one could do backups on a home-based system. However,
softare to handle the backups just doesn't seem to be there. It's not
complicated, so one could, I suppose, roll-yer-own.
