Hi all, I'm searching for a good idea how to backup up or archive our important Document Management System (AIX JFS2). Today we have backed up about 190 Million Files. The Filestructure is the following: There are Filesystems (40 GB) for every mandant on this system: <mandant-a>/00001 <mandant-b>/00001 ... <mandant-k>/00001
In every Filesystem we have circa 1 Million Files. When a "mandant"-Filesystem ist full the following happens: -The Filesystem was remouted to the state READONLY -A new empty Filesystem (40 GB) is created for this mandant with an increased 5-digit number . New documents are now going to this filesystem. What is the best way to backup / archive this system? Some thoughts: Our backup runs today over 40 hours, TSM DB is growing and growing, and with backup we've had the problem, that after a crash one Filesystem was corrupted and after fsck some files/blocks (sorry I'm not a AIX Admin) are going to the directory "lost+found". But what happens with the "corrupted" files. I think they will be backed up again and the "good" backed up Files on TSM expire? If so, this would be a disaster for our company. Any hints / suggentions on this issue are appreciate. Boris
