Due to the nature of the work being done, the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center has a huge file archiver system with two tape silos. Once run by a Cray, it is now a mix of a small pile of Linux boxes with an SGI [which runs the migration-to-tape software]. One of the Linux boxes has the AFS key on it, and "vos". A simple shell script dumps the volumes from the cell onto the disks of the archiver system, which then automagically archives the dump files to tape. While I realize not everyone has giant tape silos, petabytes of storage, and fancy shmancy file migration software, I would think an arrangement like this would work with any system that has a jukebox and some basic backup software on it. And then there's an AFS-aware Amanda, too. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
