Hello to everybody,
I would like to set up a Linux system for a backup server. I would
like to set it up with hardware RAID 5. It should be as stable as
possible. It won't do any other thing; just backup other machines
every night over an Ethernet 10 Mbps. I would like help with the
following questions: 1) Which hardware do you suggest me to buy (DPT,
Adaptec). Please state the make and model if possible. 2) Which
distribution/kernel is best for this task? 3) I think that the best is
RAID 5. As I need to back up about 20 Gb, I would need 5 4.3 disks. I
understand that to implement RAID 5 I would need a sixth one. Am I
right or would I need more? 4) I need a solution that works as 'out of
the box' as possible. 5) Any other information you think appropriate.
Please be as specific as possible. I'm going to buy it for my company
and I wouldn't like to miss on this one :-( Finally, I'm sorry about
my English as I can't control my style very well it's meant to be
kind. Thank you very much for your help.
