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 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 -- ________________________________________________________ Mehrdad Ravanbod - System administrator
