We have a much smaller environment, 150 servers, 8TB data, including 2 exchange servers. Mainly windows. One IBM3583 library (6 LTO-1 drives, 60 slots, all SCSI), one tsm server. Library is about half the size we need (in slots and drives). I am supposed to be half time on backup, half time on a dedicated application.
Between me and one other person, we put in at least 8 hours per day on backups alone. Some weeks I average 12 hours per day fo 6 days per week. We are budgeted for 4 hours per day, 5 days per week. I hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Barnes, Kenny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 3:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: How Many Backup Administrators to Data Backed Up? I don't know of a exact number, but maybe this will help. We recently engaged IBM and other hardware vendors to look at upgrading our environment. We or should I say I, manage 120tb of TSM data in total storage with a database size of 70 gb. Recommendation was 1.5 admins. One server and one library.

We are in the midst of our Annual Budget planning and know were are understaffed. The question then is there a "Ratio" of Backup Data Maintained to number of Backup Administrators? A few of us have googled and Gartnered, and come up with nothing. Has anyone on this list seen such a thing? Thanks in advance!
