true!
but we're talking about cost reduction (TCO) and the argument holds: at scale, if you halve the cost-per-bit for storage, then the TCO should drop dramatically and very close to half. The argument isn't about indexing, security, auditing, or whether Hawaiian pizza is an abomination to humanity.
- horsawlarway 4y agoonly if the cost-per-bit of storage made up the bulk of the variable costs of backup. My point is that I don't think that holds. That cost is likely not trivial, but I think the other variable costs make up a large percentage of total costs of a backup (again - because data by itself on a drive in storage somewhere is useless - it's the ability to access and use that data that organizations are paying for)
