Remember though that HPSS is an archiving solution much more than it is a backup solution.
Also it still has a very high entry point to justfy using it - I would suggest over 20 PetaBytes as a minimum.
Having said that HPSS is fully supported by IBM and used by most of the very largest GPFS sites.

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.Jez Tucker ---08/30/2019 04:07:38 AM---Hey ho, You may wish to evaluate NetBackup (I have not).

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
