[gpfsug-discuss] Backup question

[Marc A Kaplan]

Certainly fair and understandable to look at alternatives to the IBM
backup/restore/HSM products and possibly mixing-matching.
But thanks, Jez for raising the question:

What do you see as strengths and weaknesses of the alternatives, IBM and
others?

AND as long as you are considering alternatives, here's another: HPSS
http://www.hpss-collaboration.org/ghi.shtml
which, from the beginning, was designed to work with GPFS.

Hey ho,

  You may wish to evaluate NetBackup (I have not).

You can accelerate most 3rd party backup solutions by driving file lists
via policy.
With a bit of additional development, it's not hard to achieve something
extremely close to mmbackup.

Perhaps the prudent question is;
- What issue(s) make Spectrum Protect not the first solution of choice?

Best,

Jez
