sure, but at 425TB i'm guessing they're storing either everything in full or everything in full and uncompressed. and compression can do a lot for text files like sources etc. for example (last time i did that) the linux kernel source code was about 1.2GB uncompressed, but ~60-70MB in tar+gz format. surely there must be a way to reduce that size.
