Then, the pools can be for each kind of server, let say, 3 pools
(daily, weekly an monthly) by type of backup (system and datas ?), so 6
pools.
So, as I have 3 kind of server... 18 pools ?
Is this acceptable or too complicated ?

Web servers... So many many many little files.

With the others advices I had, I'm planning to have a dual Xeon Nehalem,
with 8 ou 12 GB of RAM, and four 300 GB SAS disks in RAID 10. Not sure
about the OS, I'm balancing between FreeBSD and Gentoo.
But, if someone here have a similar setup, I'm ready to hear his
advices and tips about my configuration.
I'm freaking out about the configs files :) They'll be really huge I
think.
Regards,
Fred.
