So.... where are the FTP files kept?

Post by Zacchi4k »

According to the website, the FTP is currently hosting 32.37TB of data, but accordig to the server info page, the "Betaarchive HTTP and FTP server" has only a 2x250GB SSD RAID1+ 2x300GB HDD RAID1, which sums up to just 1.1 TB, plus it's never really out of space. I'm not here to discuss wherever they're actually 32TB or not, because there's A LOT of stuff on the FTP and it seems legit to be that much data, but I was just wondering where it's all stored.

It's a bit misguiding since we no longer keep the FTP data on the same server as the main BA server. Andy will correct this :).

But the http server (i.e this forum) and the FTP data are kept on two different servers so the above info is not correct since the 2x250GB SSD RAID1+ 2x300GB does not include the FTP server. The main BA server does however have an FTP server since it's where you connect and upload files, but the archive is kept on a different physical server.

FYI the FTP server consists of 4x4TB harddrives + backups.

There are no graphs for that server (yet anyway).
