This paper outlines the five key questions you should ask when evaluating the scalability of any disk-based backup solution.

• Can the system size to your current requirements and accommodate near-term data growth without requiring you to purchase more initial capacity than you need?
• Does the system enable you to keep all of your backup history and retention on disk cost-effectively?
• As your data grows, can you cost-effectively add capacity to the system without disruption or added complexity?
• Does the system maintain leading backup and restore performance as capacity is added?
• Does the system's core architecture scale along with your data?
