Hi everyone, greetings…
I am not sure the math behind for this settings
I seen the default is Forwards Incrementals with Weekly Fulls
So mean Mon-Sat incremental x6, Sun full x1
Daily 30 which keeps 26 incremental, 4 full
Monthly 3 which keeps 3 full
Yearly 3 which keeps 3 full
For full I think it’s related to ReFS, but not sure how it become 9.92TB
For incremental backup I calculated as 30TB *5% *30days *50% = 22.5TB (somewhat different)
Weekly 0 because GFS set 0
Monthly 3 copies = (30 + 30.25 + 30.5) * 50% reduction = 45.375 TB if w/o ReFS (but I tested it is 39.24TB if w/o ReFS in sizer)
- I tried it by index 30+30.24+30.48 *50% = 45.36TB also different
Btw, what are the ReFS ~50% compression comes from? any docs for that?
And lastly for yearly (30+33+36.3)*50% reduction = 49.65TB w/o ReFS (very close to calculator this time but not exactly)
And why the ReFS does not significant in yearly ?
Turning on /off does not affect the yearly sizing much
If ReFS turned off
