I've been using BackupPC for about three years at my work. I currently backup 35 client PCs, all are Windows 2K or XP, with 2 running Vista. I'm also backing up one Windows 2003 Server. I have a 750GB hard drive for the backups. Here is my summary: * Pool is 409.40GB comprising 1778103 files and 4369 directories (as of 12/23 02:24),
* Pool hashing gives 2440 repeated files with longest chain 125, * Nightly cleanup removed 4334 files of size 3.65GB (around 12/23 02:24), * Pool file system was recently at 62% (12/23 10:21), today's max is 63% (12/23 01:00) and yesterday's max was 63%. I keep about 12 months of backups on my server and about a month and a half on the client PCs. I love the software and it has saved my life and data more than once. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Hi, I've been doing backups with BackupPC for quite a few years, mainly backing up 2 or 3 servers. I've recently installed BackupPC at the office and am backing up 6 servers right now, with room to grow. The current backup (Veritas BackupExec) keeps around a year of data, which is close to 2.5 TB. Since I plan on phasing out Veritas for BackupPC, I'm looking at similar sizes for my data. All my backups will be via ssh/rsync and Samba/Windows shares. How many servers and how much data do you backup using BackupPC? Gerald
