Right. You now have room in your table for data on 281.5 trillion files.

How many files are in each of your archival backups? At 100 million files 
per backup, you've got room in your DB for 2.8 million backup sessions.

Depending on which version of MySQL you've installed and the filesystem 
the database is stored on, it's possible that you'll eventually run into 
an issue with physical size of the database files, but you're not going to 
run out of rows in the table any time soon.
