A project I've been working on has just changed drastically in size. Basically over two years I'll be in charge of a unit photographing 1 million pages using a 40 megapixel back. Even at the RAW compressed size that's a staggeringly huge 53 Terabytes of data and I'll need redundancy, off site redundancy by choice. If I want to use 16bit uncompressed Tiff we're talking about some 200TB!
How do I even begin to do that? A huge Raid setup with networking to the offsite? Mutiple smaller units networked? I'm not a computer engineer, this project had originated as using a 28 megapixel back over about 5 more years as is being currently forecast so the original estimates were way, way off.
