HOW TO – Design, build, and configure a (low-cost!) backup/server monster

Sam writes – “I recently built a Linux-based backup server and I documented the process. We built a full-fledged server, installed Fedora Core 4 (not 5! waaaay to bleeding-edge), setup the server to serve the 4 backup hard drives (broken-up into 2 RAIDO arrays) through FTP (the protocol our software uses), and as a bonus we setup a 5th drive (smaller) to hold the OS, software programs, and a shared folder for generic files. The fifth drive was shared through SAMBA (so it could be accessed from Mac/Windows/Linux). Because we had a fairly fast CPU and we were (believe it or not!) tight on cash, we used software RAID0.”Link.

    “Zabbix documentation is very interesting. It is very well written, but it doesn’t really explain how to do anything”.
