Hi,
Just wanted to say thank you guys for a really nice an flexible Backup
Tool.
I'm using backuppc roughly two years - updated to V3 some weeks ago - and
everything is just running smoothly as ever.
Our Enviroment:
1 Server dedicated to backuppc (dual P3/1.26 Ghz/2GB RAM/1TB Raid 5 on
3ware 95xx with Reiserfs on debian sarge)
and this machine is backing up round about 25 Servers and 20 Laptops.
Laptops via SMB, Servers mostly via rsyncd (Windows and Debian)
Poolsize is 580 GB with 1338029 Files and 4369 Directories which
translates to this 'raw' numbers:
125 Full Backups with 1.616 GB (without Pooling and Compressions)
361 Inkrementals with 431.81 GB (without Pooling and Compression)
I can't say that performance is bad like somebody recently on the list -
I'm quite happy with it.
I'm backing up Lotus Domino E-Mail DBs via rsync every night (yeah, i
know that this isn't exactly the best way to do this.) with round about 75
GB uncompressed
and that takes some 380 minutes. Could proberbly be a lot faster if I
didn't use rsync (rather stupid for notes DBs anyway - but its ok for me)
and a P3 1.26 Ghz is not exactly the
fastest machine - takes quite long to gzip 75 Gigs... Anyway it finishes
over night and thats all I care about.
I use cwRsync-Server from http://itefix.no/cwrsync on the Windows machines
and added a little batch script as predump that save the windows
systemstates, creates a shadow copy an mounts it as
a volume which is mapped to the rsyncd module. After the dump the shadow
copy is removed - works nice and gives me the freedom to backup everything
on a windows box (locked files an the like).
Thanks again for a great tool that saves a lot of headaches!
P.S.
Ever thought about adding support for rzip or 7-zip ? the latter is now
multithreaded as far as i know.
