Selecting GoVault Cartridges
Four key factors to consider when determining the capacity of your
GoVault cartridges, and how many of them you will need are:
• The total size of the data set you need to protect
• The makeup of the data set—the ratio of fixed to dynamic file
content, and the amount of file compression potential
• The cartridge rotation schedule
• The extent of your long-term archive requirements
