Backup Question for Windows Server 2003

by net.server.2010 . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

I am a student, and I am having a problem with answering a question on a case scenario, and I am hoping someone here will help. It is a multible choice question, but I have to provide a small paragraph containing how I came up with the answer.

Case Scenario:
You are designing a backup solution for your company network. To make it easier to back up valuable company data, you have supplied each of the network’s 125 users with a home folder on a shared server drive and have instructed the users to store all their data files in their home folder. You have also created disk quotas granting each user a maximum of 1 GB of storage space.

Because of this arrangement, you will be backing up only the network servers, not user workstations. In addition to the file servers hosting the users’ home folders, there are also six Web servers, each with a 40-GB drive containing the home page files, a database server with an 80-GB drive hosting approximately 10 GB of data base files, and an e-mail server with 25 GB of mail archives.

Based on this information, answer the following questions:

What is the approximate total amount of regularly changing data that you might have to back up each day?

a. 60 GB
b. 160 GB
c. 360 GB
d. 480 GB

Please help if you can.

Thanks
