The easiest way to back up 8PiB of business critical data is to be a business with a need for exabytes of non-business-critical data. I think the people who are the worst off have petabytes of business critical customer data, but don't do massive datamining projects on top of this. Then you end up with a data center that is 90% (business critical) prod, and triplicating that becomes much more relatively expensive than having a data center that is 20% prod.
