Restorepoint System Requirements

Content Development and Integrations

Restorepoint has the following minimum system requirements:

Appliance Resources

The following table lists the minimum and recommended appliance resources that you need to run Restorepoint successfully.

Appliance Resource Minimum Recommended Calculation Notes
Memory 8GB 16GB-32GB
for large setups		 1.5GB is required for the application plus 250MB for every 25 concurrent backups, plus a minimum of 6GB for caching and other processes.
CPU 1 CPU 2 CPUs for large files
(over 50MB)
  • One CPU for every 25 concurrent backups. By default, the application is configured to run 50 concurrent backups, assuming most backups are within 1MB.
  • For large files, two CPUs for every 25 concurrent backups is advised since more cycles are spent on encryption and integrity checks.
Network 1 Gbit 10 Gbit  

Storage Disk 1

 40MB for application and operating system    
Storage Disk 2 40MB for database and backups  

Average daily backup size x Retention period x (0.8)

(0.8= change frequency)

Backup Time

Restorepoint estimates two (2) minutes as the average back up time of a device. For an appliance running 50 concurrent devices, estimations are that it can backup 36,000 devices in a 24-hour time frame. The number of concurrent jobs can be increased using the examples below.

Daily Backup Backup Profile CPUs Memory Concurency
36,000 Small
(less than 1MB)		 2 8GB 50
72,000 Small
(less than 1MB)		 4 8GB 100
36,000 Large
(less than 50MB)		 4 16GB 50
72,000 Large
(less than 50MB)		 8 32GB 100
36,000 X-Large
(more than 50MB)		 8 32GB 50
72,000 X-Large
(more than 50MB)		 16 32GB 100
 

Agent Resources

The following minimum resources are required to run the agent:

  • CPU calculation: 0.5 CPU for every 25 concurrent backups
  • Disk: The agent must have enough disk space to accommodate 3x the estimation of in-flight backups. Sending backups from the agent to the appliance is asynchronous.

Restorepoint Ports

For information regarding the specific firewalls and ports Restorepoint requires see Installing Restorepoint.

ScienceLogic Recommendations

  • If SL1 monitoring is used, consider turning Restorepoint’s monitoring feature off.

  • Spread backup schedules across a period manually or using the bulk scheduler.
