How Recovery Point Relate to Disk Consumption

My question is related to disk consumption as it relates to Recovery Points.

Put aside compression and deduplication for this conversation.  My goal is to understand basic disk consumption, have the most granular recovery possibilities,  with the least amount of disk space needed. 

What consumes the most space on disk?:

1 recovery point per hour for 24 hours or 1 recovery point per day?

1 recovery point per week for 4 weeks or 1 recovery point per month?

1 recovery point per week for 52 weeks or 1 recovery point per year?

Thank you for your time!

Jim

    In a nutshell, generally any time you have more RPs you will have more disk space consumption. Even if it is minimal, which it usually is, the more RPs the more disk space usages as the process of open and closing a snap might create a minimal amount of change too, not to mention you have more point in time images of the blocks you're backing up. Less RPs generally means less space used.
