What is the recommended repository size to store logs backups of ACS SNS-3415-K9, v5.4

[Rodrigo Garcia Gallardo]

Hello guys, we need of your wise advice :),

do you know what is the recommended repository size to store logs backups of an ACS SNS-3415-K9 (software v5.4.0.46.0a)?

We are planning to create an FTP server to save a monthly Full backup and a daily Incremental Backup.

We would like to consider the worst case scenario in which ACS's View Database is full and a full backup is needed as well as the daily incremental backups.

In second term, we would really appreciate any advice about how to maintain, lets say, only the latest 2 full backups and all the related incremental backups in the FTP server, is there a way to automate the deletion of the oldest backup when a new backup is generated?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Rodrigo,

Honestly, there is not a suggested size of available space  for the FTP/SFTP server used since the size of your incremental and full view database backups will depend 100% of the amount of logs that ACS server receives daily, so what I would suggest it to take a look at a couple of incremental backup for 2 consecutive days and that would help you to determine what would be the amount you would need for a period of 30 days ( one month).

And related to your concern if the ACS would support the option to manually keep the lastest 2 Full view backups, unfortunately it is not an available option.

Thanks a lot for the information Ivan, we will make a first full and partial backup to check how big they are.

Best regards!
