Sometimes I wonder if that's why the 2.5" form factor has made its way into server rooms, since four, six, and eight bay configurations are common in 1U boxes, and with 2U boxes you can get loads of drives on-end in a single server.
Pirated? I have around 1800 movies on physical media in my movie collection. I would love to have it electronic for ease of access but even if I limit encoding to just those that I have on DVD and Blu-ray I'm still looking at 900 titles to contend with.
And three 6TB tapes and the drive that can use them are neither inexpensive no "a single go".
My point is, the average PC user has no simple way to back up this data. I am well enough versed with tar that I could do what you say, but I still have to have this tape drive and I still have to change tapes. One of the biggest reasons to avoid backing up to a second identical disk in the same computer is vulnerability of that disk to site problems that take out the computer, to theft (as it's in the PC itself or right next to it to be stolen), or the hard disk as a device with moving parts could suffer mechanical failure just as readily as the original disk inside of the computer, presumably being left in one place.
Commercial/industrial backup solutions are complex. I've seen problems with conventional EMC and Isilon not working properly or where someone has a significant component of their job duties dedicated to managing the backups and dealing with failed disk arrays in the server room. Obviously the home user is not going to work at that level.
You still need an initial snapshot on which to base the incremental diffs though. This means that you still need that 16TB capability in your backup medium.
Point me to a local backup solution that can handle 16TB in a single go. Point me to a cloud backup solution that can handle 16TB over entry-level cablemodem bandwidth.
Single parity can also lead to rebuild failures if there are undetected faults on the remaining disk(s). That's one of the principle problems with storage now as the amount of disk usage has grown so much. The chances of any given failure is much greater, and the steps taken to mitigate such failures in advance are subjected to their own potential for some kinds of failure too. It inevitably becomes expensive and labor-intensive to continue to monitor for these kinds of faults and to correct them.
Heh. I'd love to see some studies on how that stuff fails when the frame it's in is deformed. If it tends to strongly resist and avoids shattering under distortion initiated from the edge, if the could figure out how to make it int large enough sheets for automotive applications it could revolutionize auto glass and auto body design as those increasingly thick roof pillars could be shrunk back down again while still maintaining roof crush strength.
And besides, they've specifically made a point to suppress that one. It's far and away the exception. Looks really bad for their image given some of the blatantly racist content and it'll probably never see distribution again.
Yeah because the US and Russia are the only two nations on the planet with nuclear weapons and are the only two possible targets for the use of nuclear weapons!
Given that the political climate probably has a lot of bearing on the potential for the use of nuclear weapons, how is this wrong?
Also, given that chickenhawks tend to push militancy without personal experience in the cost of war, it's not exactly a surprise that when chickenhawks are in power there's concern that war would be more likely, and that war itself would tend to increase the likeihood that nuclear weapons would be used.
It's limited in part because McDonalds only offers it when the price of pork has fallen below a certain threshold. They've intentionally built up this mystique around it to further increase profitability when it is available.
Disney has used a similar technique for different reasons through the years when it comes to releasing their films on home-media formats. They do large "limited" batch runs of their movies and market "for a limited time only!" to try to drive additional sales. In-fact if you look at their history, you'll find that even if a particular title is pressed for only a finite amount of time, they stop production when demand drops, not based on some pre-chosen timetable, and most of their popular titles have been released on every popular consumer format. You'll find VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray, and for some titles you'll even find Betamax, CED, and HD-DVD before those formats went stale. In reality they produce a title until the market won't bear it any longer then they stop, so that those who didn't get on the bandwagon with a particular format and lament that will do so next time around, and everyone else will re-buy what they already have in the new format as well.
Don't confuse stupid with things like crazy, self-centered, narcissistic, selfish, etc. At least as far as Trump himself is concerned. Don't make the mistake of underestimating him; that's what got him where he is in the first place.
Sounds good up until that point. Decision makers at the top of organizations don't give a rats ass how easy something is to administer -- they hire people to do that for them.
This has not been my experience. In my experience the top brass are wined and dined by the vendors and shown demos, and in-turn those top-brass seek to take credit for their amazing decisions to use this wonderful product that they've been shown. They simply expect it to work as-advertised and for the staff to make it so, whether or not that's practical or not or if it's even a good fit for the environment.
When I was a kid growing up, the school district used Follett MS-DOS based software. The IBM PS/2 Model 95 server was both an application server and a fileserver and ran Novell 3.12, and the clients were IBM PS/2 Model 25s, 286 PCs with no local storage, which were booted to MS-DOS 5.0 with Microsoft Client for Networks DOS client, which would boot from floppies that the librarians would use each morning, mount the share read-only to open the application, then the application would connect over IPX/SPX to the Novell server to transact. The only problem was that if a client PC was messed up the librarians had problems getting that client PC to come back up. As a high school student I figured out that each boot floppy was personalized, so if one attempted to boot a client with a floppy that had booted a machine already running it would cause a conflict (something like the Novell equivalent of a hostname) so it was simple, I wrote a number on the side of each client PC, and a matching number on each of the floppy diskettes, and the librarians would only use that disk for that PC.
That system worked pretty well for a long time. Then the district IT department replaced that PS/2 server with an NT box, left it broken for almost three months during the school year, and only fixed it when I as a student threatened to fix it. They went to complain to the school administration and were told that I would have that administration's permission to do just that if they couldn't. It was fixed a week later.
I suppose. That's definitely thinking as to why I don't have every system that I use joined to the domain and why I have non-Windows machines that I can work from both as workstations and as servers, and why those that are servers are real physical boxes instead of hypervisors or some other form of VM...

Now I can lose even more data when a single disk crashes!

With the reportware, "Spyglass" would be a better name.
So Cisco Meraki then?
Yeah because the US and Russia are the only two nations on the planet with nuclear weapons and are the only two possible targets for the use of nuclear weapons!
It's also a good idea to not blindly trust politicians, or CEOs, or marketing folks, or priests, or the hotdog vendor.
What's your point?
And here I was thinking that, "Mister President! We cannot accept a missile/bomber/doomsday/mineshaft gap!"

...does that mean we cure humans with gorillas?
I don't exactly make a study of it, but last time I heard there were scant few gorillas compared to humans.
