Hello dear Bacula (happy) users.
After some testings, I plan to deploy Bacula on my infrastructure. I'm
currently working for a web hosting enterprise so we have some... weird
configurations, mixing OS flavours and OS versions.
A little presentation of the infrastructure:
- Server dedicated to us, let say, corporate servers. They are more
or less 30. They act like DNS servers, mail serversn NAS and so on.
Mainly FreeBSD servers.
- Shared servers. The clients hosted on these have some
semi-dedicated servers, principally running on FreeBSD jails or old
Debian Etch vservers
- Dedicated servers, the big part, between 250 and 300 servers,
running with FreeBSD from 6.2 to 8.
No windows :)
Now, the hard work. I want to have separate backups, with different
retention times for system and home. Our users have all their datas
located on /home. So I plan to have:
- For system, Full backup every months, 6 months retention an
differential every week. The systems are quite stables and we can
restore one week old without many problems.
- For home directories, Full backup every month, Diff every week,
and, of course, Incremental every day of the week.
So, my questions are:
- How do I define my pools ?
I'm thinking about having 6 pools, one "system" and one "home" for each
kind of server (corporate, shared and dedicated).
- How fast and powerful should be my director hosting the database ?
(PostgreSQL) (Actually, we backup 300-400 GB a day, mainly rsync of home
dirs, and we have near 600 servers to backup each day)
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Fred.
PS: forgive my English, my French is really better ;)
