System requirements for urbackup server

We are planning to us ur backup server for backup of around 70 machines (desktops + Laptops), but we want to use a desktop in place of server for hosting ur backup server, what should be the recommended configuration for the same.

Waiting for response?

There really is no hardware requirements

i can you let us know the recommended system configuration for running ur backup server, if there is a software there must be some recomended system configuration.

for 240 clients
I consume 34Gb of ram (got 64 total) , urbackup process consumes 12gb
not much cpu (got 54, could use 4-10), but if you do image backup you ll need some.

That said , with a lof of filters for files to backup , i often get 1 minute backup
And some peoples backup their home computers via nas or a raspberrypi (but i guess it’s slow as hell)

@orogor What kind of storage are you using? SAS drives? or SSD? or mixed?

Hi

Sas, but that’s slow for everything related to metadata and database operations like cleanup (can take >24h). So i am currently looking to, at at least switch to btrfs. I don’t think i ll get ssd for the database, but that should help a lot of you can get one.
