I've always wondered this - How does Archive.org work in terms of storage? Internet is massive and caching every single site periodically for years on, isn't that unreasonably huge amount of data?

Edit: I just checked Wikipedia, it says they're using about 15 PB of storage.

Edit 2: 15 PB cost => 15,000 TB x $30/TB = $450,000. Ofcourse, back of the napkin cost (no maintenance, power, etc). That's not too bad actually.
