We are building an amanda backup server and have a question regarding memory requirements. My guess is that Amanda is more processor intensive than memory intensive. Is this correct? For a dedicated backup server that won't be doing much of anything else, is 512MB of memory enough?
i have such a beast running on RedHat with 256 meg of RAM and its fine
My amanda backup server is a pentium 90 with 32M of ram, running FreeBSD 4.9. Seems to work no problem (admittedly, I only have about 30-40 disk-list entries, writing to DDS3)
