However, when we migrate, or so something scary we like to take a copy (in addition to the usual backups) of everything in case things go wrong, which of course instantly doubles it. Other things to consider: amount of storage per record will probably increase in the future. i.e. new features such as tracking changes to records, or keeping the original file format along with the pdf file (for preservation) for each item. Basically if the method you use produces a server spec with less than 1TB then choose another method :) Cheers Chris Alison Sutton wrote: > *** ↵ http://www.eprints.org/tech.php/id/%3CEMEW-k5NCe459ee3a4d236017d3c016a4c14c30db5c-006201c8d5ef$0b479600$1e65e186%40rdghome.ad.rdg.ac.uk%3E > *** EPrints community wiki - http://wiki.eprints.org/ > > Hi > > For the purposes of a proposal for a repository at Reading Uni. we need to > estimate the storage capacity needed for items to be deposited in EPrints. ↵ > > Please can anyone advise how best to calculate this?
