:!: It is strongly recommended the [System Home] directory should be located on a dedicated local drive.

  • Free space needed for
    • ./logfiles
    • ./sync

:!: Disk capacity should be greater than the OBS being replicated.

The amount of space used in [System Home] in SYNC mode is dependent on:

  1. The period of time the replication process is in SYNC mode
  2. The amount of daily backup data uploaded to your AhsayOBS server

For example, if daily customer backup jobs generate an average of 20GB of data daily and your previous replication SYNC mode time period was 5 days before it went into LOGGING mode, then your [System Home] partition will require at least 100GB (20GB x 5 days) of free disk space.

Adjust Java Heap Size for RPS:

  • 1GB for single Receiver
  • 2GB for multiple Receivers
  • No more than 50% of RAM

Sample RPS Server Configuration

  • Dual CPUs
  • 16GB RAM
  • 1x 32GB SSD Boot Drive
  • 1x 500GB 2.5“ SATA [System Home] Drive
  • 4x 4TB Seagate ST4000VN000 NAS Drives (or ST4000DM000 like in OBS2)
  • 1x Orico PCI25-2S Bracket
