I probably wanted data "redundancy" in the Cloud only. 50 TB is a very large amount of disk storage. Are you sure that you have the correct unit of measure? Just downloading 2% of 50 TB (1 TB) would take a while over even a fast network link (measured in megabits (Mb), not megabytes (MB) like disk storage). Even on a local LAN downloading 1 TB is several hours @ 8 Mb/second on a Gigabit Ethernet link w/ no other traffic at all. According to: https://www.gbmb.org/tb-to-mb 1 Terabyte is equal to 1000000 megabytes (decimal). 1 TB = 106 MB in base 10 (SI). 1 Terabyte (2^40) is equal to 1048576 megabytes (2^20) (binary). Terabyte unit symbol is TB, Megabyte unit symbol is MB. Terabyte is 1,000,000 times bigger than Megabyte.
