The ABC Company is considering the following options for its backup plan:
- 1. Daily full backups:
- Time to perform backup = 60 minutes
- Size of backup = 50 GB
- Time to restore from backup = 30 minutes
- 2. Weekly full backups plus daily incremental backup:
- Same requirements as option 1 to do a full backup on Friday, plus
- Time to perform daily backup = 10 minutes
- Size of daily backup = 10 GB
- Time to restore each daily backup file = 5 minutes
- 3. Weekly full backups plus daily differential backup:
- Same requirements as option 1 to do a full backup on Friday, plus
- Time to perform daily backup = 10 minutes first day, growing by 5 minutes each day thereafter’
- Size of daily backup = 10 GB first day, growing by 10 GB each day
- Time to restore differential backup file = 5 minutes first day, increasing by 2 minutes each subsequent day
