If you take the month approach, the filesystem/db snapshot has to stay in
place for a full month whilst the backup is occuring. Do-able, but can be
stressful e.g. if something goes wrong after trying for a full month...
But anyway he said off-line backups aren't that important - I gather that
recreating the data is not totally impractical. Still 16TB, ouch.
