Re: [Bacula-users] Ideal configuration for bacula server?

2008-01-30 Thread Hemant Shah
I was looking at the bacula web site for the supported autochanger and
found that IBM 3851 is supported. When I talked to our IBM reseller he
said that was replaced by TS3100. 

Has anyone used TS3100? Will it work with bacula?

I was looking at TS3100 with LTO3 drive.

Thanks.

I have automatic file and job pruning off but I do recycle some
volumes. A good deal of my backups are for archival / long term
storage so I do not want to have any extra difficulty to recover a
dataset by having to use bscan to recover the purged data before
actually recovering the files.

Hi,

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.

[Bacula-users] Ideal configuration for bacula server?

2008-01-23 Thread Hemant Shah
Folks,

  I want to setup a new bacula server (if I can compile bacula client
on AIX and HP-UX) and I am looking server and autochanger
recommendations.

I want to run it on a Linux system preferably RH and a LTO autochanger.
I want to first backup the sytems to the disk and then migrate it to
tape so that the backups run fast. I have various flavors of Linux, Win
NT, Win2k server, WinXP, AIX 5.3 and HP-UX 10.0 systems. Full backup of
the all systems would probably be around 200GB.

What configuration worked best for you?

Thanks.
