I have my bacula director on a dual processor Opteron 248 machine with 4GB of memory running x86_64 gentoo linux. This machine is the main image fileserver and has 3TB of software raid 6 installed and a single DLT-IV drive used for backing up user folders for less than 20 users. My database is a postgres database and it now runs on the main bacula-sd machine. This machine is also a dual processor opteron 248 with 4GB of memory and it has nearly 1TB of software raid 6 and a 24 slot dual drive LTO2 autochanger. I use the autochanger for all image backups and system backups. And on top of that some of the 1TB of space on the main bacula-sd machine for file volumes. We have around 35 clients (windows and linux) and to this date we have run nearly 9000 jobs in the 4.5 years that we have used bacula with currently 15TB of data on tape and a 14GB catalog database.
