I'm rebuilding our backup system for AFS volumes. It will be about 1T
in size for a full semester's worth of backups to disk. We would like
to keep two semesters data on disk, before moving the older one to our
TSM tape library. Each level 0 backup file is a binary file containing
approximately 26,000 volumes. The incrimental backups are done three
times weekly for 17 to 18 weeks in a trimester year. If there is a
reliable file system that can compress our backup files, that will save
a considerable amount of SATA storage.
The main reason for designing a new system is, currently the AFS to TSM
API only works for our AIX systems. IBM has not ported the API to
Linux, and has no immediate plans to do so. Our AIX systems are aging,
and are expensive to maintain, so I've been moving systems to RH Linux
for the past four years.
If you know of an enterprise level file system, please let me know. Thanks.
