larskarlskov Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hi, I've been using Retrospect backup for some years and now I'll like to install it on some new hardware - the OS will proberly be Win2003. Do anyone have some suggestions for the new hardware - just in general, not exactly what harddrive and so on. I proberly need a fast disksystem for the catalogfiles, a lot of RAM and so on. We have both Unix, Linux and Windows servers to take backup from. Some Linux servers have ouite a lot of files (more than 6 mil.) and they sometimes gives me some problems. I hope some of you could give me some input here - thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 At least 3 or 4 GB of RAM is good. Faster is always better. We also like to see a big C: disk to cache temp files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larskarlskov Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 A large C disk for temp files - what do tou mean with this? Are you talking about the catalog files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 No, Retrospect requires between 10 and 15 GB of free disk space for each execution unit you are running for temp files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
