How big is your backup?

[DavidB4910]

310 kids, 40 staff, my backup is reaching 60 gig. Is this excessive?

[plexer]

Full backup of my main server 180gb.

Mine is sitting at about 600Gb, 990 pupils / 90 staff.

 

Departments folders take up most of that though!

690 kids 60 staff lots of IT Services data and my own crazy sized user area 750gb.

850 Kids, 100 Staff = 200Gb - just their home folders

[cheesypete]

I can only dream of my backup being 60Gb!

 

Approaching 190Gb - takes around 6 hours

[localzuk]

600 kids, ~40 staff on the system, full backup is 180GB (that includes SIMS, home folders, public areas etc...)

 

Oh, and this backup takes around an hour.

[Vegas]

375Gb in 4 hours - 1500 Students, 100 Staff.

[tosca925]

Pupil HD 290 GB

Staff HD 270gb

Student resources svr 180gb

 

 

Not to mention the other stuff we have to back up over a week.

 

 

1500 kids 200 staff

 

 

Averages out a 1.2tb data to be backed up

8O What have you got in there?? My area comes to about 10GB or so...

[dave.81]

1.2TB is more space than i have on all my servers lol... main file server about 30gb, accounts/acdemic 90gb, email 10gb rest dont get backed up... terrible i know

[Mr_T]

1500 kids and 350GB but desperatly need more backup space as we alternate some bits.

[DMcCoy]

205 for servers and user data (user data is around 150gb) 100 staff 1000 students. File quotas are very useful. I will not throw around large amounts of space when I *know* most of it is full of crap.

 

Easy to back then too

[sidewinder]

Full backup including all user data, common area etc is just over 500GB

 

1700 students, 200 staff

 

So not too bad actually

 

I do however have various restrictions to stop students saving any video + audio files in their areas, and I viciously exclude any similar files the staff have stored from the backup

[Diello]

Full backup of everything, 1200 students, 130 staff, just over 1TB.

[andyrodger50]

Ours is 2.5TB at each end of the site, both servers sync together, just incase theres a fire or something .

[DMcCoy]

How many versions of the backups do you manage to keep with so much data?
