Did this email make it to the list?
Martin, can you come up with a response about our needs in terms of how
much space we'd want on such a backup system. Seems to me since we were
already planning on pushing some funds OSUOSLs direction this could fit
into part of that, and we could hold back on purchase of new hardware.
Thanks,
Alex

Right now OSGeo is running our own Bacula on one of our VMs to backup
content from our other VMs. We noticed that OSUOSL also runs Bacula on a
larger scale and was wondering if we could levarage that in some way. We
had been discussing buying a cheap 1U node just for backup but could
just as easily contribute disks or funds to your setup if it achieves
the same results.We would like to be able to tweak or configure as needed but expect that
dumping our current config to your bacula would suffice for now.What route does OSUOSL suggest?
I would prefer integrating it into our bacula and we could come up with a
cost estimate for you to contribute into. How much data are you backing up?
What kind of a rotation are you using/doing? How many clients need to be
backed up? We also sync our bacula data off-site daily.
