I can't see any file-based backups working well in this case. Depending on the
filesystem used & size of volumes, I would lean toward a block-based backup
product (e.g. Acronis). Or multiple layers of replication & snapshots if
feasible. ISP might be a nice hammer, but this is not a nail.
I would think you would be better off gathering the allocated/used disk sizes
from the client machines themselves.
I have a Powershell script which will do this for Windows servers if you need
an example.

This is just a touchpoint to the group to see whether I need to schedule myself
for an Alzheimers test. I would have sworn that at one time, the Tivoli PVU
licensing for TDP-SQLServer read such that in the case of MS Active/Passive

I'm at our DR exercise and having trouble with a group of servers that use
WebSphere. From what we can gather, the httpd.exe (apache) file didn't restore

piling as much memory as you can afford will give you some relief - especially
during full scan backups (when the journal gets invalidated).
Depending on the nature of the file structure (many directories vs

A full proxy backup will typically choose SAN if is able. I would double-check
to make sure all of the VMWare host luns are zoned to the proxy correctly, this
is typically what causes these backups to drop back to LAN.
