Hi All, I've read on the backuppc-users list that some admins are backing up some 1500 clients. We are trying BackupPC at the university of Geneva (Switzerland) wondering if it can be applicable for, let's say ~4000 clients.
At this point, we have 1 server (SunFire 4100, SunOS 5.10, 8GB of read-write memory, Sun StorEdge 3500 with 12x500GB). Now are backed up 163 clients (Win XP, Mac OS X, Linux). We have a large policy of what is backed up (knowing that the cpool is doing his work on all the files/programs presents on multiple clients) The disks are 55% full (2,4TB of 4,5TB). The server is doing backups during all the day (most of the work each morning) with a load average around 2,50 3,00. Some backups take less than 10 minutes and other are taking more than 5 hours. Our questions are : - How many clients can we hope to backup per server. - Does it seems familiar to anyone : backups that takes more than 5 hours? Thanks for any reply and testimony!
