Actually they put everything on WORM drives each night.  There was not a
hierarchical storage setup, just everything getting burned to WORM each
night under a date-stamped toplevel directory.

Worked well for a small team of developers, probably not scalable to
your typical office scenario where people keep 100MB PowerPoints around
for a couple of years.
