Let us not forget that, until a petty political hysteria[0], there were no plans to have a mirror of Archive.org; just one pretty little building between chaos and order.
As a recurring donor and huge fan of the Archive, I find this pretty concerning.

- UnrealIncident 9y agoI'm also a yearly(-ish) donor and also find it a bit concerning considering they did have a fire in the building 4 years ago. Archive Team have the INTERNETARCHIVE.BAK[0] project. I think they're in need of more disk space if anyone has some to spare. [0]: http://iabak.archiveteam.org/ http://iabak.archiveteam.org/
- microcolonel 9y agoThanks for the link! I did not know about IA.BAK. I think I will commit to backing up the whole drive over the next year. ~110TiB is totally doable!
- notyourwork 9y agoThanks for sharing I can lend a few TB to this!
- tmzt 9y agoCould BackBlaze or somebody do this, maybe as they are burning in new storage clusters? Seems like it could be some good PR.
- 24gttghh 9y agoLooks like their wiki says there is roughly 14 petabytes of data to be backed up, and only ~105 terabytes have redundant backups now?
