No arguments on the value of keeping data backed up. In a quick spreadsheet, one years backup of 1G, that expands at 15%/yr, and has a 5% daily change rate has the one gig, grow to almost 21G in just one year. This assumes 100% retention, and linear growth during the year. I can see this is an argument for tape instead of only to disk!
It is a simplistic simulation, but it isn't too unreasonable. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AmzjKrMU1HCRdEllLTEtakNsQ0I1bUpOeEFHNzNyb3c&hl=en&authkey=CMbVr90I You can't edit it, but feel free to copy it and use it. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
