HPC environment. Today we are kicking of backup and disaster recovery discussions
so I was wondering what everyone else is using for their backup?</font><br><br><font size=3>In our old storage environment we simply rsync-ed home
and software directories and projects were not backed up. </font><br><br><font size=3>With ESS we are looking for more of a GPFS based backup
solution - something to tape possibly and also something that will have
life cycle feature - so if the file is not touched for number of days,
it's moved to a tape (something like LTFS).</font><br><br><font size=3>Thanks in advance.</font><br><br><font size=3>DAmir </font><tt><font size=2>_______________________________________________<br>gpfsug-discuss mailing list<br>gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<br></font></tt><a href="http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss"><tt><font size=2>http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2><br></font></tt><br><BR>
