You said 9TB out of 40TB. What happens to the rest of that data at failure?
Actually, a talk on ZFS and raidz2 under Linux would be fantastic! Are you
available to present?
If you have 6 months to trickle the missing data back, that can work. Does
crashplan have a replacement HDD emergency FedEx service? I'd hate to think how
long pulling 40TB will take. Looks like you can have them ship you a 1TB HDD
http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/feature/seed_service Looks like you can
send them a HDD (might need to request the specific model from them) to seed
your backups too. Very nice.
1 year is good as a start, but how many cloud storage vendors have been alive
more than 10 yrs? Is S3 that old yet?
