The price of the hardware is only the beginning.
You need more things:
1. Develop a storage system with "consistency groups" so that you are able to take a snapshot from a distributed storage system in a consistent state.
2. Keep investing into such a system as you probably want to add to your archives on a regular basis.
3. Pay for physical storage of whatever you are storing (i.e. pay rent, electricity bills, salaries for people who come to check on your archives).
- IYasha 4y agoAbout the storage... I actually had and idea of finding a stainless steel cylindrical lunchbox (hermetic, thermally isolated by vacuum inside walls). But forgot about that ) Putting a spindle of discs inside such container would be enough to protect them for decades, I think. Could even survive flooding. Not lava, tough :) (if anyone finds such 12+cm container on chinese stores, I'd be very grateful)
