Backup Central

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if you are aware of any utility/tool/Excel worksheet that will help us to determine the number of tapes that will be required with some data given, i.e. type of media used, size of data to be backed up, retention periods, backup frequency, etc.

With new projects coming up more frequent now, we need a utility that can help our project team to estimate in advance the initial tapes that they need to include in the purchase.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,
Roose

I don't know of any tool that's ready to go to do what you want, but I'd be happy to help you construct such a tool on a billable basis.
