      The systems I manage at work are roughly ~60GBs in backups of data only. That's ~39 servers. Most of them are really tiny. My biggest one is around 25GB.

        just finished to check out my company (30 ppl with pc, plus 20 in the warehouse). We have around 500GB of data excluding mail. Mail is a huge archive kept for both hystoric and legal reasons. This can go well over 500GB, but this is a static batch of data we do not change.

          Between everything, somewhere over 1PB. Not sure about the corporate data though.

            12GB of data, that includes hi res images, marketing, videos, a few key software installer packages, docs and manuals.

              All personal data including email is 6GB. The wife is a photographer so hers is in the 3-5 terabyte range, but I keep my stuff pretty streamlined.

                I'm still in the process of doing a Data audit, which includes:

                • Production data totals (non-compressed, non-deduped)
                • Data clean-up plan (what can go, duplicates, old and forgotten dupes, unneeded stuff)
                • Data consumption rate (how fast is actual production data growing)

                Rough estimate at this point is between 10 and 15 TB total. Estimated to be able to down it to under 8 TB raw. (may be wishful thinking, though)

                EDIT: in addition to above storage:

                • Office 365 email storage: 1.5 TB
                • OneDrive: 125 GB

                  Raw video: 2.5TB
                  DVD authoring files: 1TB
                  Office Data: 700MB

                  Email is hosted along with our VPS webserver, 50GB available to split between them.

                                  Those two things are not related. Have to would be a compliance question. Being referred to for decades is about storage, probably archival, not backup.

                                    Grand total maybe 10TB

                                    Non-video portion of that is maybe 1TB

                                      You always discus the differences in these terms, but what @wirestyle22 mentioned would be a good thing to start a topic with and do some real world discussions.

                                        It would be difficult because I'm still learning everything here. There are so many sites and they are all using different things. A lot of alternate configurations.

                                          About 20 TB total

                                          What kind of data?

                                          Security Camera videos, Office Data, High Res Imaging (City Planning), Marketing, Documentation, the list goes on

                                          You take backups of security camera video?

                                          It's body worn cameras for police 😄

                                          And those are backed up?

                                          they have to be. they can be referred to for decades

                                          Those two things are not related. Have to would be a compliance question. Being referred to for decades is about storage, probably archival, not backup.

                                          You always discus the differences in these terms, but what @wirestyle22 mentioned would be a good thing to start a topic with and do some real world discussions.

                                          It would be difficult because I'm still learning everything here. There are so many sites and they are all using different things. A lot of alternate configurations.

                                          What I meant was ... something like you suggested. Not necessrily YOUR scenario, but sa smilar one.

                                          Security footage that needs to be maintained for 10 years.

                                          What kind of system is @scottalanmiller talking about...
