BackupPC is enterprise ready, just because your RAID card controllers
are not enterprise ready, or because your mind doesn't allow you to see
past your own experience and consider that when moving to an enterprise
system, there might be some new things to learn and consider.
BackupPC is just one component of a larger system, you will need all of
the pieces before you will get a solution. Just some of the pieces to
consider are:
1) Server hardware - multi CPU, lots of RAM, reliable, scaleable, etc
2) Disk sub-systems - Capable of producing large amounts of storage
capacity, with a high level of avaiability, data reliability, and
performance
3) Operating System - Capable of dealing properly with your hardware,
reliable, etc
4) Staff - who understand how all the pieces fit together, how they
work, how to fix them when they break in weird and interesting ways,
especially during an emergency
If you have any other questions that you would like answered, I'm sure
somebody on this list would be willing to give up their valuable time to
give you some free advice, as long as you remember your manners, and
sometimes even when you forget them.

Adam
