Ok, 37 clients (all windows except for the below mentioned UNIX) 12GB images folder.
My real concern is the horsepower of the box in relation to doing all the task and writting to 8 SSO LTO 3 drives. The amount of data is about 30TB for full backups and most of the windows boxes are file & print or exchange and some SQL. The UNIX boxes are Oracle. Does this help? As to the Linux comment, I would love to, but it's not up to me. If it were up to me it would be a Solaris box. :) Regards, Patrick -------------------------------------------------------------------- You failed to menton how many clients and how much you plan on backing up, that is probably the most important thing, then media servers, then master server.
