I had the chance to manage the following:
- Around 600 clients
- 15 different storage daemons with disk storage or automated tape libraries
- Automated laptop backups based on the site where they are connected
(basically triggering backups to the closest SD storage daemon based on
their DNS record as updated in Active Directory)
- Cross-datacenter consolidations for jobs
- All Red Hat/Fedora and Windows systems. 1 very old client on SCO UNIX.
