Capacity increasing, speed not so much?
I wonder what will happen when you need to backup, say, 2 YB of uncompressible data, and it will forcibly take 1 week to accomplish said backup, and new 2 YB of uncompressible data is produced every week. Will you stripe together LTO tape writers as it was a RAID setup?
I'm exaggerating on the prefix on purpose (yottabytes are a hell lotta bytes), to make people think of what will happen when backups can't keep up with the data generation business that you want to backup.
By the way, googling the term showed the NSA is already aiming at that volume of "Yottabytes"... 10^24 bytes for a datacenter.
