Backup Central

Hi Guys,

What are the types of Data you use when checking out the systems for
backup/recovery options .

A few that come to my mind are
1) http://www.coredumps.de/doc/dump/zwicky/testdump.doc.html#HDT0
2)A few million files in 1 Directory
3) Very large files ( > 25GB), Small files ( 0K)
4) large tree stcuture

Anybody use anything vety different?

I just looked back at my post and i thought i need to clarify this a bit more..
I was actually referring to ths variety of Data sets you would use to
verify that backup/Recovery operation with different Vendors happen without any glitches .

Just add to the list -

1) Open files (Outlook PST, database etc)
2) Transactional data to check for consistency in backup/recovery
3) Unicode pathnames and long paths (>256 chars)
