Note: G-drive is a South Korean government file server.

Which is worse: single site backup or calling it a Gdrive?

The G-Drive couldn’t have a backup system due to its large capacity

Peak competence there.

And it’s less than a petabyte. With something like B2 it only costs about 5k.

Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 05 Oct 04:20 collapse

Per year?

napkin2020@sh.itjust.works on 05 Oct 04:29 collapse

nope.

Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 05 Oct 04:58 collapse

One time then? There are backup services that actually charge a single amount? An amount that also beats consumer hdds by quite a bit?
Do they put it on tape once and store it in some warehouse until you pay to access it?

napkin2020@sh.itjust.works on 05 Oct 05:13 collapse

oh you mean the cloud price, that’s per month.

Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 05 Oct 05:21 collapse

5k/month? That’s a whole lot. Probably not much when you have 100k people, but still.
I could easily set up a PB server with raid for half a years worth of that. Throw a second one in for another half a year at a different location, heck add a third. Were is this money going?

Insurance, salaries, profit margins.

stuner@lemmy.world on 06 Oct 12:34 collapse

Perhaps also an off-site backup ;-)

icelimit@lemmy.ml on 06 Oct 13:03 collapse

I wouldn’t go that far

So, I wonder which single-copy records needed to be ‘accidentally’ lost in this fire.
