HOW DEEP DOES YOUR STUPIDITY GO ?! LOL.

So you want me to risk 50 TERRABYTES OF DATA... by moving the harddisks ?! LOL.

FAT CHANCE ! LOL.
I've been reading this with interest, and I generally have reasonable
comprehension, but I'm still confused. Please simplify and correct my
errors...
You have 50 TB on data on an old computer.
You want to transfer that to a new computer, without opening the
box(es).
You don't want to take days to effect the transfer via 1 Gb transfer
rate.
If I have understood that correctly (perhaps a bad assumption, but
I'll await our corrections)I have a question.

Is the data important to you, ie would you really mind if it were all
lost?
Now assuming it IS important, how do you back it up now? I have only a
couple of TB of data that I can't afford to lose, and I back it up
with triple redundancy... to a removable hard drive every 5 days, and
to an always on-line NAS unit daily. I really can't imagine how I'd
back up 50 TB of data. But however you do it, why not simply connect
your backup system to the new computer and transfer the after backing
it up from the old computer?
