  6. Skill Sharing
    • Introduction to backup strategies (Alster)
      local/remote, full/incremental, plain/encrypted
    • Exercise: develop a backup strategy for kosmos (Alster)
      • Define intended backup period, amount/interval of full vs. incremental backups
        • Example: backup period: 2 months, 1 full backup each month, 1 incremental backup each day (other than days of full backup) → 2 full backups, 60 incremental backups, spanning 2 months
      • Calculate/guess overall disk space required for backups
        • determine how much space two full backups would require
        • guess the size of incremental backups if created in the intended intervals
