Wen said the new disks could someday allow individuals and families to set up their own databases with minimal fuss.

Great news for data hoarders. One day!

I'd be a little paranoid having all my data on one disk. One bad disk crash and its all gone. I'd have to have at least two to make a backup.

Always practice 3-2-1 if you really want to be safe. 3 copies, 2 different mediums, 1 off-site.

That's the ideal of course. In practice you can't always be that thorough.

then you have redundant copies

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 7 months ago

Redundant copies are a good thing to have if you're interested in preserving data long term.
