Hi Merka,

I understand. I probably wanted data "redundancy" in the Cloud only.

Thank you.

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.

I think my Singapore M1 ISP Home Fiber 1 Gbps broadband connection is
capable of downloading at the speed of 60 Mega Bytes per second or
more.

Gigabit ethernet is capable of transfering 100 MBytes in a seond or 6 
GBytes in a minute or less than 3 hours the whole TByte
but transfering this via an internet link would be a challenge;
