I'm using a Sun UE450 with 3x296MHz and 896MB of RAM. However, the
maximum simultaneous number of backups I'm doing is 8, and probably my
total aggregate amount of data is less than 100GB for all of the systems
together.
There was some information on the list relatively recently about
optimizing MySQL memory usage, or perhaps making it act somewhat
differently to running out of memory.
AFAIK, as well, newer versions of bacula are slated to handle this
problem better as well. I personally would be somewhat surprised if 2G
of RAM on a dedicated machine were too little. I've never tried watching
my machine while backups were running, but it seems to me Bacula is
fairly lightweight most of the time.
