-	Identify redundant data
-	Implement a chargeback model for storage resources and services
-	Evaluate the business relevance of data based on age and identify the most costeffective storage medium for it
-	Implement differentiated data protection strategies based on restore requirements
-	Identify potential resource bottlenecks
-	Monitor service level agreements (SLAs)
-	Identify business continuity and compliance exposure
-	Analyze backup performance and its impact on production processing
-	Identify potential interoperability issues
