I’m somewhat curious about their backup methods - mirrored drives aren’t great even if they’re stored at two seperate locations.
Surely this would get enough support that they could host torrents of the content stored in chunks, and have many peers download and seed many chunks making the backups entirely distributed? I’d gladly seed a few hundred gigs of data to ensure they maintain good backup procedures.
Not sure why are you being downvoted. That was actually the first thing I thought - what is the backup strategy? Mirroring is for performance + service continuity.
Luckily that article from 2013 mentions:
> None of the Internet Archive's digitized data was lost in the fire as backups are held in multiple locations.
