Best Home for WSUS server

[Guru42]

I am having issues with the WSUS server and thinking of rebuilding or reinstalling WSUS. Debating best home for WSUS server.

 

WSUS is currently on a VM running as an App server with 8GB. No problems with server or utilization. The only problem is if I completely re-install WSUS services and experiment with other SUS products I can't reboot the server during the week because too many people are using it. There's also a small share volume on it as well which contains files people are always using.

 

I have a Dell PowerEdge R530 with 32GB of RAM that runs the Backup Exec. Incrementals at night copied to a HDD, Full back up to HDD and tape on weekends. Seems like a powerful box that's only used a few hours a week for a very specific purpose. Seems like a good place to install SUS. The only drawback I see is that is SUS is pulling updates in middle of the night would have to be scheduled after the backup, but that doesn't seem like an issue, incrementals are only taking about 30 minutes each night during the week. Seems like a lot of server for one purpose. Also another advantage is I can reboot this server without interfering with other people working,

 

Anyone see any issues with WSUS and Backup Exec on same box? Am I missing anything here in my thinking???
