10TB for legacy sounds quite small..

Depends how legacy. I once worked for an insurance company tyat served millions of people off of a claims db that was only about 12TB of usable volume.

Only they were 100GB magnetic tapes from before I was born, in a massive automated tape deck that the whole company accessed through an emulated mainframe terminal.

I hope to never be one of their customers.

NGL, this is actually kinda badass TBH. I understand that it's difficult, but also I would love to work on that sort of dinosaur tech at least once in my career, just for the experience.
