So here's my question: since this list has been dormant for a very long time, should it be killed? Is this still a relevant topic and forum for this topic?

Backing up big datasets will always be a relevant topic 

for some. ;-) Is there an already established list that addresses the topic in the manner of this list (vendor neutral, OS neutral, platform neutral)? If not, I think there is a need for one, and this can be it. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"

From my perspective there is definitely need for a vendor/product, platform/os independent list that tackles big backup problems. I do not know any other list than this (mailto:bigbackup@lists.cc.neu.edu) one, but as said above it's quiet here.
