[BackupPC-users] Ressources Server (BackupPC + Nagios + Cacti)

2008-01-23 Thread romain . pichard
Hello all, I would like to install BackupPC (110 pc) + Nagios (40 hosts) + Cacti on just one server. Have you got an idea about configuration of this server (CPU, RAM, DISK, ...) ? It's for a company (it's not for personal usage). Thanks a lot for your help. Have a nice day. Romain SC2N

You would need to determine how often you want to run the backup. Hourly? Daily? Weekly? How much you want to backup? Are there lots of similar files? I run backuppc for 40 hosts on a P4 3.2Ghz with 512MB RAM, 100Mbit network and 80GB HDD. Performance is reasonable. Mostly weekly backups. I

First, thanks for your help. I would like to do backups daily for incr backups and weekly for full backups. I think that there will be 150 or 200 Go (total). And no, there aren't the same files, or just a little bit. So If I want to run in the same time, BackupPC +Nagios + Cacti, do you think

I think those are good specs. Do you mean RAID 1? That is effectively 250GB. You might want to add more HDD as harddisks are cheap and save the hassle of adding them later. Also consider quality raid controllers and Gigabit networks. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: First, thanks for your help.

[original message lost, sorry] It doesn't really matter what the specs of your box are, putting a monitoring solution on the same box as a production server is a bad idea. What happens when that box fails? What's going to notify you? Nagios won't, since it'll be down, too. I'm not sure about
