Is anyone using Tivoli Storage Manager with AFS filesystems?
Yes. We're using it so that we can get per-file backups and restores of
AFS. It works reasonably well, and we've not noticed significant slowness
problems apart from occasionally some difficulties with the AIX AFS
client.
Unfortunately, TSM is dropping support for AFS, and we're currently having
to copy the appropriate binaries from older versions of TSM. We're trying
to put pressure on IBM to reverse this decision; if they don't, we may
have to move to another backup system.
Are you using TSM as a backend for the AFS backup system or
are you using the normal TSM client to backup filesystems under /afs ?
Since you mention per-file backups I assumed you were doing the later.
But if that is the case why do you need any special support from TSM ?
Wouldn't /afs look like any other filesystem to the TSM client (assuming
the client process is running with an AFS token) ?
Thanks,
Tim Flynn
