Hi All

I've been asked to do some ballpark sizing for a major rework of a TSM
environment. Clients are linux and Windows under Vmware

This customer has been using standard BA client backups up until now, ie
incremental forever, and the new env will be TSM for VE with the backend
being tape rather than disk so no dedup possible.

Given that TSM for VE uses some funky differential backup technology on
the changed blocks, how much data does your typical VE installation
backup per day per protected TB?  Anyone with real world data out
there?  Sorry it is such an open question but anything you can give me
is better than a stab inthe dark.

Regards

Steve
