We're a mid-sized university academic department and are fairly happy with our current BackupPC setup. We currently backup an 800 GB fileserver (which has an iSCSI-attached drive), a few other sub-300 GB fileservers, a bunch of XP desktops. The 800 GB fileserver takes a long time to back up...almost a full day, and I think this is normal for BackupPC. We'd like to use BackupPC to backup some of our heftier linux servers -- moving into the multiple terabyte range (5-10 TB). We're considering a ZFS filesystem over gigabit for our backup target, but obviously are concerned that backing up 5 TB of data would take a week.
Is this where we should consider multiple BackupPC servers to break up the backup time? Should we move to a solution with less overhead (if there is one)? Thanks for any input or experiences.
