while it is true that you can backup the data with everything that can read a 
POSIX filesystem, you will miss all the metadata associated like extended 
attributes and ACL’s. 

beside mmbackup (which uses spectrum protect) DDN also offers a product for 
data management including backup/restore (but also migration and other 
scenarios) that preserves the metadata information. you can get more info here
