Rule of thumb 1 - restores always take at least twice as long as backups. Rule of thumb 2 - backups never go wrong, restores always do. Rule of thumb 3 - Rules of thumb are usually optimistic.

Restore = backuptime x 2 I never past this time but it includes also the installation of a fresh OS Jan -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Francois Bourdeau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 3:42 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Backup Time, rule of thumb Hi Does anyone have a rule of thumb for backup time ? Could we say that if the backup is more than 5 hours, it could make things more difficult for the restore (downtime). Example you restore during 7 hours to see that something went wrong. You lost 7 hours. I never had to do a disaster recovery yet, most of the time, does it take the same time approx as the backup time to restore?
