So you doubled your performance by adding another 4gb of memory?

Subject: [BackupPC-users] JFYI: memory upgrade brought major speedup
Hi there,
I'd just like to share my experience with a hardware upgrade. I've got a
Dell PowerEdge 2900 here with a Quad Core Xeon E5310 @1.6GHz, 2 GB memory
and hardware RAID5 (questionable decision, but that's another story). I
was pretty unhappy with the overall performance of the system for some
time.
The server is backing up 23 servers, the largest task being 120 GB in
about 2 million files, followed by three servers with 30-40 GB in about
200,000 files.
It managed to back up about half of these servers during a night -
during the day it's preparing tar.bz2 for tape archiving via bacula.
Overall, the machine was rather I/O bound doing heavy I/O all the time
with a lot of waiting time.
Because we upgraded another internal server (memory's rather cheap
currently), we added another 4 GB to the server and now it manages to
handle almost all server backups during a night. :-)
So I'm rather satisfied again and will postpone the RAID5->RAID10
conversion for some time. :-)
Bye,
Tino.
