Netbackup is great and can probably backup directly from a glusterFS client mount, however, the license and software cost for a few clients and one server/media server is nearly $50k. Not exactly cheap. Id look into Amanda backup if I was on a budget and wanted to backup to tape.
Another option is to just do rsync your gluster cluster to a Sun Solaris server with a ZFS partition. Then you can do nightly zfs snapshots of your data (snapshots only save what changes so it uses very little space). liam On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 11:40 AM, Mohit Anchlia <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks! have you heard of netbackup?
