Hi all,

can anyone suggest good new server hardware for our backup system? Currently we use a StorageTek L700e, 5 LTO1 drives (IBM), about 2 TB disk storage (filesystem devices) and a Dell 6450 as server with 5 SCSI channels, 2 GBit cards and one 100 MBit card (it should be replaced by a 3rd GBit card). Software will be 6.1.4. SCSI setup is as follows:

Ch0 /dev/nst0
Ch1 /dev/nst1
Ch1 /dev/nst2
Ch2 /dev/nst3
Ch2 /dev/nst4
Ch3 two filesystem devices
Ch4 /dev/sg0 (L700e)

Hi Olad,

thge hardware doesnt matter, i.e. you dont neet a lot of CPUs and tons
of RAM. A good suggestion is: one or (if you have plenty of money) two
state-of-the-art cpus with 2 to 4 gigs of ram.
But for the networker indexes you need a lot of disk space. So i would
recommend a least 3 disk a 146 GB mirrored via raid1 (with one disk
hotspare).
