matthew.brough Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 We have those little HP macro severs with windows storage server. Cracking little NAS device bit limited to 2tb drives. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyGuy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It's certainly grown. 58 servers and 21 pc's. I thought you were into VM's - why the need for 58 servers ? Or are you clustering the 58, then slicing and dicing the pool ? Otherwise 58 sounds like a real admin headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 reckon space required would be miniscule. not sure if its worth resurecting my old PC, its years old and in bits. But maybe worth aquiring one just for back-ups. Would an external hard drive not surfice?? if the problem comes via the mains you could fry all your hard drives securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Yes, 58 virtual machines on 3 hosts and 4 NAS servers. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyGuy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yes, 58 virtual machines on 3 hosts and 4 NAS servers. Makes more sense. Bet some don't do much though! I now run on Sun servers for development with pretty much everything else deployed via automated subversion build to the cloud. I don't touch Windows apart from within a few VM's on my nice big 27" iMac. Have just bought a new 24TB QNAP rackmount NAS as a better local backup solution. Runs incremental rsync via rsnapshot. Can't beat the price and reliability of rsync Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalaxyGuy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I've not used it personally, but it looks like another rsync wrapper script. I was using my own wrapper from a previous Sun box, but just implemented a simple rsnapshot schedule on the QNAP. If it's rsync based, it'll probably be pretty decent.

Adi Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 if the problem comes via the mains you could fry all your hard drives Have you ever had that? I was thinking more from viruses ect... I really can't be ar**** with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 yes, virus etc is down to your local users. If you use an attached hd disconnect it completly after backup. I lost a whole server with an attached usb backup drive. lost the lot even with a ups. But if its gonna happen it will happen to me. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
