As far as I am concerned, BackupPC scales very well. I run 200 - 250 clients onto 3 year old single proc, 1GB ram, and (4) 250GB sata disks in a raid 5. The limiting factor is the I/O throughput. I am in the process of moving the data to a large NAS and can now run more clients on a BackupPC server.
If you have the bandwidth to backup directly to a remote site you can avoid Bacula and tapes, if not then you will need tapes and something like Bacula to get offsite backups. cheers, ski On Thu, 2008-11-27 at 08:18 +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Thanks everyone, this information is very helpful :) Any more thoughts > on backuppc compared to other backupsoftware (for example bacula) in > terms of scalability? > > regards Chantal > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > _______________________________________________ > BackupPC-users mailing list > [email protected] > List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users > Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net > Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ -- "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it connected to the entire universe" John Muir Chris "Ski" Kacoroski, [EMAIL PROTECTED], 206-501-9803 or ski98033 on most IM services ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
