Backup Requirements Plan

Before you use CA ARCserve Backup for the first time, we recommend that you plan your backup requirements. You should consider the following:

How much data do you need to back up?
- What is the current disk capacity in your environment?
- What is the server and data growth you anticipate over the next year?
How do you want to manage the media you are using for backup?
How do you plan to store your data? Are you using magnetic tape or does the stability of WORM media better suit your needs?
