As of Oracle RDBMS 9i, time is expressed in microseconds, rather then 
seconds, years or lifetimes. BTW, you left out the infamous "dog years".
Backing up and restoring a single 128TB file  would be an interesting
exercise. Please, do it and then post the result, appropriately expressed 
in microseconds, using, of course, the binary notation. That way, we will 
be able to know the exact answer to your question. Everybody will enjoy
screen upon screen of zeroes and ones.
