Even small businesses these days, particularly using media like videos

short order, and data that must be backed up with regard to version
control makes it even worse.
Oh stop Swing. What are you speaking about when you say videos and
multitrack recording? Even in a recording environment, a terabyte is a lot
of data. But - even if there are specialized industries that do indeed
require that kind of storage, it's still very far from the topic at hand,
which is more about PC storage - for the most of us. Again - even very
significant corporations do not require this level of backup. The fact that
a particular niche may require it is the anomoly.
This was a huge, and expensive, problem ten years when I was still
participating in the operation of a commercial recording studio, and
today's requirements are even more demanding.
So no, in reality, you can't say that ...
I absolutely can. Read what I wrote. I did not address niche industries
like commercial recording. As I stated - good sized corporations and home
PC's do not require this level of backup capacity.
I provided some examples of less than "good sized corporations" that
easily do exceed your data storage requirements. If you don't think that
"good sized corporations" don't have "niche" departments in their
structure that engender EXACTLY these kind of data storage requirements,
it makes your statement even more apparent that you're living in the past.
Welcome to the 21st century, just five years ago:
Notably, TheInfoPro's Wave-9 Survey of companies showed about 70% of
corporate data is duplicates. TheInfoPro did not survey small companies
or small home offices, the ranks of which represent 700,000 companies
with revenue of $200 million or less. But Robert Stevenson, managing
director at TheInfoPro, estimated those small companies have from 500GB
to 1TB of data today, and that they are experiencing the same
exponential data growth as larger companies.

And again, that was five years ago.
Cite some evidence to backup your "I absolutely can.". I still don't
think you can.
