I agree with Phil on this...we group clients by dataset and proximity to the nearest media server. So, that number is high for things like Exchange backups where we have over 20 Exchange servers and low for other apps where we might only have 1 server.
This is different from our old model where we had as many as 50 clients per policy just because they were all OS backups of the same kind of Windows box. --stuart -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter DrakeUnderkoffler Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 7:49 AM To: Koster, Phil Cc: veritas-bu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] How many servers per NBU Policy? - Poll -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Not really a useful stat. Everyone's NBU implementation is generally different based on lots of factors. Clients may or may not be bundled into policies for business or security reasons, platform commonalities, and of course schedule windows. As a first stab, I usually bundle systems with similar services into the same policy. But that almost always gets split up a bit. Database backups generally tend to be one client per policy, but there are exceptions. As usual, everyones millage may vary.
