(My particular reason for driving this drive around is to know I have a backup that is absolutely, positively, 100% for sure not connected to the Internet. It's easy to notionally sling petabytes around in someone else's datacenter; I want the hard case stories)

About 30-35 TB on SMB/CIFS file shares, from Windows VMs with iSCSI connections to an end-of-life SAN to a NAS. Did it by a combination of backup/restore jobs (CommVault) and cobbled-together robocopy commands. Then DNS forwarding to keep the old UNC paths viable.

Also 3x physical datacenter moves, each of which took probably about 18 months off my life. I occasionally have flashbacks to watching two movers pushing against a loaded rack that was tipping backwards off a moving truck's lift gate.

I once carried a NAS with … um … some number of drives in it from London to Cambridge. Way too much data to send over the Internet, I know that much. It went by car, then train, then a walk along a London street. I wrapped the box in spare towels to minimise bumps and knocks.
