1. You're correct, however, the architecture does allow you to run a hot backup for fast failover.
2. The database is oriented around 'datoms', which are an entity/attribute/value/time. Each of these has its own (hierarchical) indexes, so you only end up pulling the index segments you need to fulfill a given query. You'd only pull 1TB if your query actually encompassed all the data you had.
