The amortized cost is closer to $600 for nickel disks and $150 for polymer. Back to the near term : can someone tell me the rough cost per GB and expected lifetime of the backups our colo uses? (I would guess $1 and 20 years.) Are there full offsite backups? I would feel better if people would help update http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Contingency_planning ...
