Perhaps this has been a discussion on the list before and I am searching the
archive. (Been searching for two days now!).  Have there been any studies by
industry experts on the cost of data backup per GB? Are there any guidelines
to follow to be sure a proposed solution is within industry standards?

I am trying to upgrade our TSM environment with more horsepower, throughput
and storage capability. I need to arm myself with this type of information
for managements review.
