Hi Guys
I am setting up a straight forward Bacula installation, straight backup to disk
and the size of data being backed up is nothing major, around a few hundred GB
However the number of files is a concern, it is close to 1 million files, hence
I have decided to on monthly fulls backups and diff backups in between
I am still concerned about the databse and how much it will grow on a yearly
basism and the storage needed for the database tables, i am planning on using
PostgreSQL since it is said that it handles large tables better than MySQL. Also
the retention period specidied is very long, 10 years to be exact, so purging
the datbase is not an option
Anyone who has some knowledge on this and some parameters to think about when
dealing with such requirements?? The Disk i am using on the server is 1 TB with
a second disk option of 1 TB
I would suggest to use LVM on your server, doing so, you can add new disks when
needed. 1TB can hold a lot of records, I think we are around 150-200 bytes per
record. As it's hard to predict, it's always good to have a flexible system.
Also a completely unrelated question, is version 15.0.4 a production release??
The release note in the download directory on bacula.org site says it is a beta
release
It's 15.0.2 and yes, it's production ready. I have removed the word beta from
the file.
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Eric
