Backup Schedule Requirements

The more data you have, the more time, hardware, media, and network bandwidth you require.

You need to decide:

• Whether you need to back up user data only.
• Whether you must also include system configurations and installed applications.
• Estimate the total size for the data that you must back up, allowing a reasonable margin for growth based on past experience in your organization.
