Email sent to OSUOSL on previous ticket. I proposed $1500-$2500 for 
4-6TB of backup (That's a 1U server with 2 or 3 TB disks in RAID 6).
If they can offer backup service under $1000/yr I might suggest we take 
that, assuming our backup solution is about the same cost per year on a 
3-5 year. Otherwise I've asked for them to price a machine to meet those 
needs.

I do think some people do need to sit down an audit what is backed up 
especially on Projects and Adhoc where we might be backing up things 
like Tile Caches on accident. I noticed a few users home directories 
being in the 7 G+ range and wonder if we really need to backup all the 
data in those folders.

When I get a chance I'll glance at the rules to make sure we're not 
keeping too many copies of things that don't change often/ever and see 
how many days worth of Trac/SVN we're hanging on to.

Thanks,
Alex
