D) Operating system type can impact backups too. We can't ignore that.

Wait, are we really considering D) Operating system type? Seems off.

Haha, gold tier virtual machines - sounds like a fancy way to say "expensive VMs".

The operating system type in D) doesn't seem directly relevant for this proxy sizing question.

I practiced a question about backup metrics, and I think change rate was definitely one of the key metrics we discussed.

Operating system type seems relevant, but I feel like the yearly growth rate could also play a role in sizing.

I remember a similar question where datastore type was important, but I can't recall if it applies here too.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not 100% sure what all the factors are for proxy sizing, but I'm going to guess that the yearly growth rate and change rate would be the most important additional metrics needed, beyond just the backup data itself.

I feel pretty confident I know the answer to this. I think the key metrics we'd need beyond the backup data are the yearly growth rate and change rate. The datastore type and OS don't seem as directly relevant for proxy sizing.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is the datastore type or operating system type also relevant for proxy sizing? I'm not sure how those factors in, but I'll have to think about it more.

Okay, let me think this through. I know we need the source in-use data for the gold tier VMs, but what other info would be helpful for sizing the proxy? Maybe the yearly growth rate or change rate could be useful?

Hmm, this seems like it's asking about metrics needed for proxy sizing for gold tier backups. I think the key is figuring out what additional metrics beyond just the backup data are needed for that.
