50%) and math, that's about 23TB of data to be backed up onto 690 DAT tapes. At about 3MB/second transfer rates and tape swapping, that's about 3 months to do one backup. And I have no idea what you do if you need a restore at day 70 of the backup...

Btw, the database size is quite tiny compared to the total disk space. They just have that many disks for having more spindles to get the IOPS required...
