The number I would be more interested in is the size of your database. How many files are you backing up, revisions of each file, will you be using SAN (disk or tape), and what is your tape technology.

Thanks to everybody who contributed. There's been some really useful information. My understanding is that a single AIX box will scale further and perform better than a Windows machine (indulge me by assuming that we don't stuff 8 processors into the Windows box). However the downside of this is that we should have AIX skills. We don't. So let's scale out (as Microsoft like to say, but then they would; they can sell more licenses...). We currently have over 200 clients, incremental backup fluctuates between 100 & 300 GB per 24 hours. Can anybody give me some guideance on how many boxes, and of what size, I should consider? AIX fans: Please feel free to contribute your spec as well! Once again thanks for all the info. I never expected TSM to be such fun! BTW, apologies for having igniting another UNIX vs Windows firestorm. Pete. ---------------- Powered by telstra.com
