scale of backup and frequency

Hi all,

Am interested to hear about your Amanda setup. Particularly if you are dealing with an HPC home file system/server, where both size and churn can be issues.

And/or scalable storage.

i) How big is your regular backup?
ii) How frequent?
iii) What challenges do you have/face?

I'm currently in the process of thinking about how a new backup regime will look, armed with a new 40 slot tape library and some limited disk storage too.

thanks
David
