>>299329Depends on how large the existing dataset is for /v/ and /vg/, like both database and media. At the VERY least DB+thumbs.
I'm fairly sure that its already on the order of 10+TB, so it would effectively require a complete overhaul of the hardware the site uses to run. In addition to the storage demands, there would need to be dedicated resources for the search engine the archive uses (sphinxsearch) which is one of the two resource hogs of the server as it is (the other being the asagi scraper that grabs the posts in the first place)
So you're looking at 2-3 additional servers that all sit in the range of 150-200 USD on the low side? That's not factoring the setup I'd need to do to migrate all of this shit and actually make it work.
Plus honestly, I'd have to invest in an actual backup service. More running parts means more chance of failure.
