We actually have a large number of clients with MUCH more than a 
terabyte of data. These are some of the largest advertising agencies and 
print/media houses in the world. With high-res photography and artwork 
costing thousands of dollars each to produce, and images ranging in size 
from 50megs to 500megs each, this adds up quickly. Most of our customers 
have at least a TB of data online, multiple TB nearline (in the tape 
library), as well as multiple TB offline (tapes on a shelf). The only 
practical solution are LTO or AIT-4 for disaster recovery and AIT-3/4 or 
DLT for nearline/offline storage.
