Then, the pools can be for each kind of server, let say, 3 pools (daily, weekly an monthly) by type of backup (system and datas ?), so 6 pools. So, as I have 3 kind of server... 18 pools ?

With the others advices I had, I'm planning to have a dual Xeon Nehalem, with 8 ou 12 GB of RAM, and four 300 GB SAS disks in RAID 10. Not sure about the OS, I'm balancing between FreeBSD and Gentoo. But, if someone here have a similar setup, I'm ready to hear his advices and tips about my configuration. I'm freaking out about the configs files :) They'll be really huge I think.
