Hi guys,
My name is Vancho, I work as a system engineer for small software company located in Australia. The company I work for has 15 business critical servers, based on Microsoft platform, which I manage on daily basis, and one of the key ITSM services I provide is Backup Management. We’re not satisfied with Windows Backup features and performance, so we decided to replace it with Bacula. I read a lot about this software and I found it to be quite in compliance with our company’s requirements. Currently I’m preparing detailed design for the Bacula deployment, and at the moment I’m facing difficulties selecting the appropriate hardware for Bacula to run on. In the Bacula documentation I couldn’t find the section that points to the minimal or the optimal hardware requirements.
So I thought to ask you to help me with my trouble, could you please recommend which hardware would be most suitable for my environment? The spread sheet contains the servers that consist our server farm. Thanks in front! J
