Is there any formula for figuring out how much hard drive space you will need ? Also which is better, Raid 5 or mirror sets for Shadow Copy?

I've been using it for a year now wo any problems. I store all the snapshots on a dedicated set of mirrored drives. Between shadow copy and a long retention time for undelete, I have't restored anything from tape in a very long time.

Any advice would be appreciated. What are the approximate costs ?
