Hard disk space and configuration |
Required: 150 MB plus space for local cache Recommended: Amount of free space equal to the backup account limit. Cache: The local cache can be as large as the total size of all files selected for backup; a file selection of 100 MB needs up to 100 MB extra disk space for the cache (not required when streaming is enabled). |
Required: 150 MB plus space for local cache Recommended: Amount of free space equal to the backup account limit Cache: The local cache can be as large as the total size of all files selected for backup. A file selection of 10 GB needs up to 10 GB free space for the cache (not required when streaming is enabled). Database backup: Space is needed for the data dump and cache. The dump can be as large as the database. The cache is the compressed version of the database. For example: 1:2 compression ratio on a 10 GB database requires 15 GB of free space (10 GB for the dump and 5 GB for the cache). Temporary working space is also required for subsequent backups. The requirement will be less than 5 GB in this example. |
