Hi,
I need to configure a Windows Server for storing the backups. This is the configurations.
Dell PE R 710 Server
6 x 3 TB HDD
I want to install Windows Operating System. After some searches, here are my findings.
1. Configure RAID at the hardware level. (RAID 6, using all the 6 HDD, effective storage space is 12 TB)
2. Enable UEFI
3. Install Windows in an GPT partition in a volume of size 200 GB
The remaining space would be dedicated for storing the backups.
Question. Which Operating System would you recommend? I am planning to go with Windows 2008 R2 Standard ($$$)
Question. Will my above plan work? Anyone who has tried similar setup have any suggestions?
Thanks.
