I suspect that it's also in part to what Transarc's AFS backup system can
handle. But I have little experience with that stuff, so I can't say for
certain.
We have a handful of volumes over 8G. Our biggest volume is 50G. We don't try
to backup anything over a few gigs, just because it slows down the level 0
dumps. [This will likely change as the hardware we use for backups gets
faster.]
We've made sure the big volumes are moveable. They're probably restorable from
backup, but since we don't back them up, we've not had occassion to try.
