 How much RAM do I need for the above setups

RAM for a ZFS filer has no relation to pool or storage size!

Calculate 2 GB for a 64bit OS, add 1-2 GB for a Solaris based filer and 3-4 GB for a BSD/Linux based filer for minimal read/write caching or ZFS can be really slow. RAM above depends on web-gui, numer of users or files, data volatility or wanted storage performance. Add more RAM for diskbased pools than SSD pools for a good performance.

Beside ZFS and performance, a web-gui wants RAM. A Solaris based ZFS filer with napp-it works with 4GB RAM but becomes faster with more so I suggest at least 6GB. Other web-guis suggest 16GB as minimum.

With napp-it cs I suggest 8 GB as minimum for the Windows machine where the frontend web-gui is running, 16GB if you additionally use ZFS on Windows on that machine.

For the ZFS filers that you want to manage with napp-it cs there is no additional RAM requirement for the server app what means that napp-it cs can manage a Solaris/Illumos based ZFS filer with 2-3 GB RAM and a BSD/Linux/OSX/Windows filer with 4-6 GB RAM  what should allow to manage even a small ARM filerboard remotely with a web-gui (with ZFS and Perl on it)


Recovery:


In case of problems, try a former BE, use the bootable backup disk or restore from image with clonezilla.
If you want disaster revovery based on a current backup, replicate current BE daily or hourly to your datapool.
To recover, do a minimal setup, restore that BE and boot into.
