People talking about backing up government climate data.
If you can maintain a speed of 1 GB/s now until Jan 20, you would transfer ~5.6 PB of data.
The GFDL NOAA lab archive is apparently order 100PB.
The only way to back up that much data might be to drive some hard drives there and back.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.
apropos for today (slightly updated)?
Has been discontinued though. I assume other similar services exist?
+ today network may be viable, but hard to tell what is in those locations.
Then you’re running into problems with availability, redundancy, tampering…not to mention getting people to do it at all. Interesting to think about though.
This show floor probably has over a Terabit total capacity.
Are we gonna do this or what?

"The potential bitrate for this protocol has improved enormously. With modern 1TB memory cards it could be capable of gigabit+ networking, up 1000x from the mere 2.2mbps achieved in 2005."
Not like that matters unless it's stored somewhere out of reach anyway. It's just not feasible, unfortunately.
