Until my last information, Locaweb <https://www.locaweb.com.br/default> is the 
largest Latin America Hosting company with more than 1.5PB of data backed up 
with Bacula. I estimate (for less) they have at least 4,000 backup clients.

For this size of workload, you might consider data reducing features such as 
global deduplication, and automation ones such as application specific plugins. 
Unfortunately, these are only available today on Bacula Enterprise 
<https://www.baculasystems.com>, but licensing costs would be compensated with 
significant storage and staff economy.  

Regards,
