Is There a Source Control-like Backup Program?

[...] it is possible. The only real question is how to scale that approach up to handle commercial volumes of data and thruput and the requirements of replication across multiple mirrored data centers -- and who is to go after this convergence. CERN is currently building a large nuclear accelerator which will produce on the order of 1+GB/s of data. The next generation accelerator after that will have even larger requirements. It'd be interesting to see what type of solution(s) they come up with. -- David Magda dmagda at ee.ryerson.ca, http://www.magda.ca/ Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new. -- Niccolo Machiavelli, _The Prince_, Chapter VI |

Parallel ones! 1GB/sec sounds impressive, but it's only 10 copies of a 100MB/sec system, and *that* can be achieved with commodity hardware! (Not trivially, but it can be done). Malc. |
