IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Guide
2.2.4 Total storage available
Calculate the total amount of usable disk storage in GB available on the client.
This number is the amount of disk storage seen by the client file system and
does not contain the actual amount installed and used by a RAID or mirroring
implementation.
2.2.5 Total storage used
Calculate the total amount of disk storage in GB currently in use or expected to
be used on the client. If this number is unknown, use the Total storage available
from above.
2.2.6 GB changed per backup
Calculate the amount of storage, data, or files changed between backup cycles.
This value indicates how long the client will be busy backing up, and how robust
a network is required to complete all the backups each backup cycle. It is used to
estimate disk and tape storage requirements on the Tivoli Storage Manager
server. Table 2-2 presents typical percentages of data changed for various sizes
and types of data.
Table 2-2 Rules of thumb for selecting percentage of data changed
If your data change percentage is known, then enter that number in the
worksheet. Otherwise, use Table 2-2 to estimate a rate, keeping in mind that your
numbers may vary. A high estimate is better than one that is too low.
