Created https://gitbackup.org for this very reason.

Where do you store all that data?
Re:GitHub is degraded/down by super3 on Tuesday April 21, 2020 @12:19PM (#22936337)
Should only be 2-3 PB. Storing it all on https://tardigrade.io

Only 3 petabytes? At $0.01/GB/Month, it seems that works out to about $360,000/year in storage costs alone. Cheers, but you're paying for this just as a public service?

There is discount pricing over 100 TB. Its a tech demo so Tadigrade.io sponsors it. Pretty powerful demo on easily storing large amounts of data especially when Github goes down.

The site says "Storing 542 TB" though :D

Have been increasing sync speed over time. It about double where it was a few weeks ago. It definitely does take some time to upload so much data.

Out of curiosity how do you or how to you plan to monetize this? Seems like it would get expensive really quickly.

It is a tech demo of https://tardigrade.io, because easily storing all of Github certainly gets peoples attention.

Its only expensive because cloud providers overcharge. The listed prices on Tardigrade start at half of Amazon S3, and there are significant discounts if you are storing more than 100 TB.
