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

Vancho,
You have about 4 TB worth of drives and if you are saving 1/2 of that,
your space needs are 2 TB + whatever scheme(retention, incremental,
etc) you plan use. I'd get a Coraid.com AOE storage machine with a
minimal, stable Linux server running bacula SD and DIR as the head -
and about 4 GB of RAM. I'd populate it with enterprise drives no larger
than 750 GB.
Why AOE ? - it is built-in into the Linux kernel and is simple, fast
and stable technology. It will handle RAID and their 15-bay will be
scalable. It has 3 PSUs for redundancy. It is fairly cheap and you can
use whichever enterprise drives you want.
