Hi,

With the Flemish government we have more then 100 sites. Most of the time the 
backup is done on a DLT7000 or LTO tape device. A few sites are bigger and have 
a Legato backup solution.

With UFS, the restore is easy on those small sites.

ufsrestore -ivf /dev/rmt/0n

Looking at the manual and other discussions, this is not possible anymore.  Ok, 
you can send a snapshot to a tape device but restoring one file can only be 
done when restoring the whole (snapshot) filesystem and then sniffing the 
correct file.

We don't want to buy an Legato solution This will be overkill and is too 
expensive. Scripting with tar and other archievers is not the best solution for 
doing a backup.


What are yours ideas?

Stay with UFS?
zfs send [EMAIL PROTECTED] | convert_to_ufs_stream > /dev/rmt/0
Afterwards, we can do:
ufsrestore -ivf /dev/rmt/0

Regards,
Gerrit
