[Info-vax] OT: server farm backups

I retired about 15 years ago from being a system manager of a (then
old) VAX/VMS system.  I did backups to a tape cartridge system daily,
weekly, etc.

I noticed a photo the other day of a modern server farm and got to
wondering what in the world does a company like Amazon use to backup
the gargantuan amount of data on their systems?  Surely it can't be
something like tape cartridges.  Does anyone have any idea?

Just curious about it.
