Disk space required for snapshot process

$
0
0

I was wondering if someone could help me understand volume sizing and snapshot sizing

I have a drive I want to snapshot.

The drive on the server is 1GB and I want to store 5 snapshots

There is a 1GB file on the drive and the file content changes 100% every day but never goes larger than 1GB

 

How large does the volume have to be?

 

Do I need to have 7GB volume in total

 1GB for the data portion drive

 + 5GB (5x 1GB) for the 5 snapshots

 + 1GB for the snapshot process - i.e. the space required to take the snap before saving it?  

 

or do I only need a 6GB volume

1GB for the data portion and 5GB for the 5 snapshots

 

Any help would be appreciated
