Media Management - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

Example
Windows: C:\tmp, 32, 1024; D:\tmp\tmp_1, 10, 1024
UNIX: /tmp, 10, 1024; /var/tmp, 5, 60
When the files in the first directory are full, the integration writes data to the files
in the next specified directory. If the allocated disk space is used up during the
backup, the backup fails.
File history swap files can increase in size significantly. Use the following formula
to calculate approximate disk consumption:
EstConsumption = (NumOfFiles + NumOfDirs) x (136 +
AverageFileNameSize)
where NumOfFiles is the number of backed up files and NumOfDirs is the
number of backed up directories.
See the calculations in
directories is up to 10% of the total number of files, the average directory name
length is 25 characters, and the average file name length is 10 characters.
