Hi,

This has plagued me for a while… [ and while it sounds a lot like a home work 
question… its actually just be being curious and reaching out :) ]

Imagine a scenario similar to this:

You have a file based storage array available with a capacity of say 6 TB, and 
you have to back up 20 clients. 

Lets say I’m going with the default Full/Diff/Inc weekly schedule and that I’ve 
had an arbitrary retention time of 1 year on fulls 6 months on diffs and 1 
month on incrementals.

What strategies would you employ to manage disk space, estimate growth etc.

I guess there are a few scenarios

1 : eventually you will find out that your arbitrary limits are just not 
possible to accomplish with given diskspace.

 OR 

2: it will work fine and things will get recycled fine.

Is there a good way to plan ahead?

Thanks!

Jeff. (Runkle on irc #bacula)
