The Data Protector Catalog Database is approximately 0.4 GB in size. It is

backed up locally to an HP StorageWorks DAT24 autoloader, which has a

sustained data transfer rate of 2 MB/s or 7 GB/h. Data Protector by default

checks the integrity of the database before the database is backed up. It takes

less than half an hour to check the integrity of a 0.4 GB database and only

a few minutes to back up the database. Therefore, to check the integrity of,

and then back up the IDB and configuration files requires less than 1 hour.

The projected size of the database in five years time is 1.2 GB. It takes less

than an hour to check the integrity of a 1.2 GB database and less than half

an hour to back it up. Therefore, to check the integrity of, and then back up

the IDB and configuration files requires less than 2 hours.

All the other available data in the system, which is currently about 55 GB) is

backed up remotely to the HP StorageWorks DLT 4115w Library, which has

a sustained data transfer rate of 3 MB/s, or 10.5 GB/h. Most of this data is

via the 100TX network, which has a sustained data transfer rate of 10 MB/s,

or 36 GB/h, of data. This does not present a bottleneck. The backup of all

these data would therefore take about 5 to 7 hours to complete. This is well

within the allowed 12 hours. The problem would then be that in five years

time, when the data is projected to be about 170 GB, the backup would take

15 to 21 hours!

To solve this problem, use the staggering approach. Schedule the full backup

of data in the English Department for Fridays at 20:00, and that in the Other

Languages Department for Saturdays at 20:00 and that in the Admin

Department for Sundays at 20:00.
