Take a wild guess: how many backups these mere 4000 TB already have all across the EU? I'd say at least 8, maybe 20.

Even if Europol miraculously agrees to delete one ZFS data pool, the other N-1 remain. So yeah, it's a PR theater. Pretty sure that the moment they found out what EDPS knows, a few sysadmins were ordered not to sleep until a big redundancy ratio has been achieved.

But it's still VERY impressive that a discussion about the tradeoffs between privacy and security is possible. That's a huge plus (if the discussion comes to being in the first place but still).
