"A petabyte here, a zettabyte there -- pretty soon you're talking some real storage ..." ;^)

It's not uncommon for big companies to have terabytes of storage. I used to work for one. Our tape library held 24 terabytes. Our nightly backups (differential backups) were running between 300-500 gigabytes and our weekend backups (full backups) were running 1.2-1.5 terabytes. I don't know who has the largest storage but I'd bet it's Lucasfilm. I don't know if anyone has petabyte storage.

I'm very familiar with tape backups here -- the venerable 4mm drives at the engineering firm store mere hundreds of gigabytes of data in total during the weekly full backups. Still, it's hard to conceive of having to back up petabytes (much less terabytes) of data on a regular basis!
