We are a small hosting company in Australia, and we use several backuppc
servers in our environment. Our main backup server backs up almost 600GB
worth of data over the lan each night, this is our pool:
- 15 full backups of total size 2090.82GB (prior to pooling and
compression),
- 24 in

I have changed a lot of my setup in the past months and am using DPM from
microsoft on our server 2003 and 2008 infrastructure. I used to use
