Huh? 90Tb in a single backup? One backup is no backup, if lighning strikes,
you've lost everything...
Now, the DIY build i like, but i very much doubt the efficiency powerwise...
My guestimation is that it requires at least 2 Kw.
That is one year more cost on electricity than an LTO system will set you
back.
(granted, a smaller system for editing only will also use power. I'm at the
point of powering down at night / weekends)
