The article says: "Transferring four petabytes of data, it turned out, took about a day."

Quite a feat - How did they manage to get 4 PB from S3 in a day, over the internet?

I honestly expect that they wouldn't have used the Internet to transfer a volume that large.

"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes" and all that sort of thing.
