| 287038 | 2004-11-02 06:53:00 | sal.neoburn.net that is a photo of 5 rack mount servers. each server is a twin CPU P4 3.6 with HT. 1.5GB or RAM. and 2 X 36GB hard drives and 4 X 72GB hard drives. that makes for (10*36) + (20*72) = 1800GB of disk. what can we store in that kind of space?? |

| 287043 | 2004-11-03 01:09:00 | Ok, so that doesn't need (or deserve) backup. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 287044 | 2004-11-03 01:15:00 | How are you going to fit the additional livestock that always accompanies the 'bug' fixes onto a mere 1800GB, eh? Better toss in another 1800 for that and add another 1GB somewhere for Linux to manage it all. Cheers Murray ;P |
