A lot of users do that. It depends on your hardware, network speed and the number of clients you want to backup and your performance requirements.
In my setup all three are on different machines. I have a nearly 100% gigabit network with 30 to 50 bacula clients and 12TB of currently data backed up mostly to LTO2 tape. My director runs on a dual processor Opteron 248 system with 4 GB of memory same for the main SD but the database (postgresql) runs on an Athlon64 3200 processor with 2GB of memory. As for the director and SD neither of them were chosen this way just for bacula as they play important parts in the network. The machine with the director is also the main image fileserver and it has 3TB of SATA RAID6 disk storage. While the machine with the database also is the main ldap server for the department. The machine for the SD originally had a second purpose as a server to run virtual machines using vmware server however it appears that the performance of vmware server degrades over time so I have given up on that task and I have gone several different routes for this task. > > And in worktsations, Bacula File and Bacula console. > > Yes. If you ever want you can add multiple SDs as well as I have 2 SD machines (the director has a SD on it with a smaller DLT tape drive). > Att, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
