NetBackup™ for Cloud Object Store Administrator's Guide

Additional storage requirements at the staging location

You must reserve space in the backup host's staging location to store log files. See Configure a temporary staging location.

The required space is directly proportional to the number of tracked objects.

Use this formula to calculate an approximate estimate of the required additional storage space:

Estimated storage size (S) = 2 × Number_of_keys × Average_key_size (in bytes)

For example:

If the Number_of_keys = 1000000, and the average_key_size = 50 bytes

Estimated storage size (S) = 2 × 1000000 × 50 =100,000,000 bytes = 100 MB

For details of maintaining the logs in Ceph, see: Maintaining the log bucket.
