I have been looking to build a low wattage box to run only Backup
on. Have been looking at Raspberry Pi model B, but have not been
able to confirm that it has enough memory. I did some checking on
the two boxes that I have BackupPC running on and it seems to
require about 70 K of memory.
Does anyone have a clue if this might be a doable thing?
BackupPC_dump uses considerably more than 70k; my server at the house is
weighing in at 51m/39m for the parent/child dump processes;
BackupPC_trashClean is using roughly an additional 10m. Of course some
of that will be shared between processes. The nightly maintenance runs
are likely to require similar amounts. pmap the processes while running
to get a better idea of utilization.
Thanks. So far it looks like a go. That leaves plenty of head room.
I just went through the manual again yesterday and did not see any
notes about using a swap.
Now to go ahead with the project and get the Raspberry Pi ordered.
