Disk Storage Units

[sr69]

Hi, someone has a best practice document regarding Disk Backups.

NB 6.0 MP4 Windows 2003

Drive D:\ for disk backups and some questions:

How many Disk storage units are recommended to create?, 1 per policy? or just 1 and 1 for Catalog hot backup?

A sample scenario would be great.

Thanks

1 DSU is fine for multiple policies.

I wouldn't use DSU for Catalog backups though; you should write those to tape instead.

Here's some good reading:
