Cheap is a relative term. It's only "cheap" if it's cheap enough for a
particular context to enjoy. Even if a HD was only a dollar a TB, it wouldn't be
cheap to someone with 0 dollars.

Cheap space does not obviate the value of conservatism generally. The more space
consumed, the more space, and _time_, consumed with backup and restore
operations, even if nominal.
