  • 309 full backups of total size 29338.60GB (prior to pooling and compression),
  • 275 incr backups of total size 473.40GB (prior to pooling and compression).
Other info:
  • 0 pending backup requests from last scheduled wakeup,
  • 0 pending user backup requests,
  • 0 pending command requests,
  • Pool is 1276.43GB comprising 9112704 files and 4369 directories (as of 12/23 09:02),
  • Pool hashing gives 1824 repeated files with longest chain 48,
  • Nightly cleanup removed 8062 files of size 7.10GB (around 12/23 09:02),
  • Pool file system was recently at 53% (12/23 10:49), today's max is 53% (12/23 02:49) and yesterday's max was 76%.

Hi,

I've been doing backups with BackupPC for quite a few years, mainly backing up 2 or 3 servers.

I've recently installed BackupPC at the office and am backing up 6 servers right now, with room to grow.  The current backup (Veritas BackupExec) keeps around a year of data, which is close to 2.5 TB.  Since I plan on phasing out Veritas for BackupPC, I'm looking at similar sizes for my data.  All my backups will be via ssh/rsync and Samba/Windows shares.

How many servers and how much data do you backup using BackupPC?

Gerald
