Dear All,

I wanted to ask about "vos shadow" and whether it is being used as a solution on production systems to back-up user home directories.

The most significant information I can find is a thread from this email archive last year. http://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2012-December/039077.html

I can dedicate a server to host only shadow volumes. If an active server fails and dies, the shadow copy can be brought online. Is this a better solution than, say: (1) keeping a periodically rsync'd copy of the /vicepx partitions on a shadow server
(2) afs over drbd

I am trying to use commodity hardware (no RAID, no scope for software RAID either) to build cheap AFS storage.
