Hi all.
As some of you probably know, we are leaving NFS for DFS (not AFS, sorry). One
requirement that
always
pops up from the old NFSers are:
"We need file level backup with ACLs.!!"
The question is, do they really?
If you use backup clones that are mounted and available for your users, how often do
you have to
turn to your tapes in order to restore mistakenly erased files ?
In our experience from about 10 years of somewhat limited AFS usage, this has happened
less than
10 times altogether.
What are your experiences in this field ?
Chris.
