I have 1.2TB worth of space to back up 25 servers. I’d like to do three weeks of backups.

Well, at least you have to give some more information: How much data does a full backup consist of today, how many generations of backups do you need, how many do you want, do you want to store volumes off-site, can volume management be done daily, weekly, or never at all... and, very important, how much of your data changes daily, and how fast does the total data volume grow?

The director and storage are currently running on the same machine. I’d like to set this up to do concurrent backups.

Depending on the machine and, quite important, if the catalog database is on that machine, too... usually not a problem.

I apologize for leaving this so vague, but want to start as much conversation as possible so I can consider everyone’s input. I’m very open to changing everything that is setup.

Before we can suggest or even discuss changes we'll probably need a little more information about your setup.

For example: I use a very old server with a DLT autoloader, I have tapes holding about 1.5 TB, I back up 6 machines, I keep backups for a year, and I run the catalog database on a separate server. I can run up to five or six jobs simultaneously. Not very interesting - you'd need to know much more about my backup schedules and the amount of data I collect from the different machines.

Thanks in advance
