okay network is one I left out, but I don't find that to be a problem. It
rarely goes above 30mbit. Our setup is a single box w/ Xeon dual core 2.4ghz
x 2, 2x300gig 10k scsi (raid 1) drives and 4gig memory, Debian 5.0, gigabit
ethernet.

We struggle to backup 4 servers each night, 453gigs / 7,807,318 files.
Backup window is 9pm to 9am, and we just fit inside that each night. We do
incrementals 6 nights a week and 1 full per week.

I'm thinking of upgrading the box to raid5 array with 15k scsi drives, more
memory and a quad core cpu. It's difficult to know what is enough though..
