Worra lorra floppies

An FoI request brings out the scale of the BBC archive.

"The TV Digital Archive currently holds 5,009.1 terabytes of archival material (both transmitted and untransmitted).

The Radio Digital Archive currently holds 1.2 petabytes (both TX and non TX). [A petabyte is 1,024 terabytes]

Please be aware that these figures do not include Sport or News materials which are not held by
the central Archive.

We estimate that there are 1.5 million unique tape assets not yet digitised."
