Call me weird or crazy if you like, but in a scenario where one would need to move a home data setup quickly. I'm wondering what the most portable way to store a petabyte might be.

Criteria

  1. Both the storage medium and any drive or device required to read back storage medium are easy to move under short notice. Say 10-30 minutes.
  2. It doesn't need to be fast. Idea is this would be a periotic backup of all of your currently live data. Maybe you might lose yesterday's edit, but you wouldn't lose everything.
  3. Cheaper, the better, but let's entertain a situation where money is no obstacle too.
  4. One person working alone could do it.

Edit: Practical data storage is preferred. Something like a thousand 1TB or 500 2TB sd cards is going to make backups difficult in the first place.
