hi guys
I have this scenario right now I have 29 VMs around 3.5 TB storage used. All are Thin provisioned.
I have to implement a retention policy like this:
Weekly backup on Saturdays and this Weekly backup will be retained for 4 weeks each.
Also the last backup at the month has to be preserved for 6 months.
So I was thinking something like this
0 Daily
4 Weekly
6 Monthly
OK my question is there a way to figure out/calculate how much space I am going to need in 6 months?
will be enough 1 VDP appliance 2TB or I am going to need 2 VDP appliances 2TB each to balance backup jobs and achieve this policy retention?
thanks a lot
