VCB Hardware Requirements

Apart from the obvious Windows 2003 physical server and HBA connectivity, are there any recommended hardware specs for the physcial server? I can't see anything relating to this is the documentation.

Well we have it running on a single CPU HP DL360G4 with 1GB of RAM.

It does not say a requirement which i know is stupid but if it does not say surely can not need to much just a baseline Windows 2003 box.

Paul

If you intend on doing many similtanoues VCB backups I suggest extra RAM. 2-4GB should suffice. 1GB can cause issues.
