Basic Profile Example

Assume you have a machine with 25 GB of data stored. You decide to back up only most crucial files and those files end up filling 12 GB of tape.

Under the Basic profile, you would be charged

  10 * $5.00 (your cost for the first 10 gigabytes) = $50.00
+ 2 * $3.00 (your cost for the remaining 2 GB) = $6.00
for a total of $56.00 per month.
Of course, this is an oversimplified example in that it assumes that your backed up files will not be changed. Changing the files will add to the amount of data stored on the TSM server for a period of time determined by your backup profile (7 days in the case of the Basic and Basic+ profiles). It is strongly recommended that you read the explanation of how the backup recovery system works and to discuss any questions you may have with your WSG contact.
