Describe factors that influence the number of backup files needed for each application


The systems designer determines the number of backup master files needed for each application. Two factors influence this decision: (1) the financial significance of the system and (2) the degree of file activity. For example, a master file that is updated several times a day may require 30 or 40 generations of backup, whereas a file that is updated only once each month may need only four or five backup versions. This decision is important because certain types of system failures can result in the destruction of large numbers of backup versions within the same family of files.
