OneofthekeyfactorsinsizingyourdataprotectionenvironmentusingContinuousProtectionisdeterminingthe
amountofdatathatwill besentoverthenetworkfromtheprotectedsystemstothePowerVaultDLBackup‐to‐Disk
Appliance.Aftertheinitial
dataiscopiedfromtheprotectedserverstotheappliance,Contin uousProtectionServer
onlycopiesnewandchangeddatafromtheprotectedsystems.Asimplecalculationfordeterminingtheamountof


Datachangerate(GB)perhour+newdatarate(GB)perhour=
totaldata/hr
