Regarding dumps and restore; the system will always be offline during

problems, even backup operations that take 3 days.
This sounds a lot like oil exploration... Data gathered from sensors is
usually a few TBs, explosions have definite intervals, interference between
sensors, etc.
Sorry I cant talk about what the work actually is, a colleague of mine
just got reprimanded for just mentioning he was working on a compression
library. The manager thought he was revealing *too much* :)
Putting the data inside the DB fast is part of the solution, getting it out
fast to be processes / analyzed is another part.
But you are right about that part, things needs to be fast.
