What is Backup Frequency?
Users often want their data to be protected as soon as it is in its final state. This means that scheduling backups weekly (or even daily) may not be sufficient, because data may not be backed up before the machine has a problem. Although hourly backups can provide a more robust backup strategy, they may consume too much system resources because a complete file system scan is required. Word processing or spreadsheet files are some examples of when users would like to have their data protected as soon as it is possible (or after a very small interval of time): once the document is saved to disk, it will be backed up by DS-Client and sent off-site.
