Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula largest installations ever

I manage a sizeable Bacula installation:

~70 FD

~10,000 volumes

~2,000 jobs currently in catalog of 45,000 jobs (lifetime for this instance of director/catalog)

~4.8 PB currently tracked by jobs in catalog

~30.1TB largest single job (which took 3d 9h on last run)

This workload previously served fine by a single director/catalog open-source edition for many years (running on mysql until the beginning of this year, since switched to postgres but not because of any performance issues)

Maintaining this workload currently requires less than 1 person-day of effort per month (after a fair amount of tuning)

Regards,

Ben Roberts

Hello bats:

I was wondering if you can share any of your biggest Bacula
deployments you ever made. I mean anything like "I use Bacula to
backup thousands of desktops/servers", or "I have a backup
infrastructure with Bacula for more than 30TB of data being backed
up".

It's just that I want to know how robust and scalable Bacula might be
compared to other competitors such as TSM, HP Dataprotector, Backup
Exec, among others.

This is because one of my customer want to backup more than 2,000
desktops and a backup software is under evaluation.

Thanks in advance for your comments, if any.
