- Question #1
We’re now running the server as a VPS (Virtual Private Server). It’s running on a box with a dual Xeon processor that has 3.06 Ghz 533fsb ht. 256mb guaranteed RAM for us but with 12GB on the entire box. 208.8+ Mhz guaranteed CPU with a maximum CPU of 2×3 Ghz. We’ve got access to six 73GB SCSI 10K RPM ultra 320 hot swap drives in RAID5.

We have daily tape backups. Each user is also able to make their own backups as tar balls as they see necessary. Mail is backed up via prompt once per month if using web mail.

Currently, everyone running off thecounterculture.org’s VPS contributes to our total of 400 available GBs, of which we currently use about one third every month.
