First my questions:

How do you plan to keep your backups?  Will each 1TB drive hold
3 months worth of backups or only the last day, or the last
month or ???.

It will hold 3 months worth of backups.

How much data will you be backing up total?

For this backup server the total will be around 150GB.


How frequently do you need full backups?

I would like a full backup about every two to three weeks.

How frequently will you be doing backups.

Five days a week (Monday thru Friday).

1.  I'm assuming each drive would be a set, is that correct?   
Something like daily-quarter1, daily-quarter2, etc.  How do avoid  
duplicating the configurations for these sets, since they're identical?

Possible scenario.

Thank you for this recipe.  It'll help guide me in my calculations.
