NetBackup™ Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide

Key sizing parameters

Sizing depends on answering several key questions:

  • What kind of data is being protected and how well does it deduplicate?

  • How much data is being protected?

  • How long is it being kept and how is it being backed up?

  • What is the change rate?
