It is good to know that the encryption can be on the client side. Then the server can be doing unencrypted as its default and only those clients that need to encrypt their data can do it and take whatever CPU penalty is necessary for the privacy of their data. Thanks for working on this tool.

Have you added software encryption of the tape output? I know that some tape drives support hardware encryption but some places do not have enough of them to spare for linux and the plain tape drives are what are available. /Tom Kern On 7/8/2011 13:16, David Boyes wrote: If you're running SLE

We also use NetBackup but it does balloon when it kicks off. Obviously everyone running virtualized linux is looking for a file level backup done from the virtualization layer. Symantec claims they are close in the VMWare arena. It would also be nice to deduplicate there too. --

It's not free, but we use Veritas NetBackup for all our Linux, Unix and even Windows systems for file-level backups. It works just as well for zLinux as it does for Linux on Intel. -- Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation.~. RO-OC-1-18 200 First Street SW/V\ 507-284-0844

The poor mans way is to use "tar" and output to tape. Pipe the listing to a file and keep the file around so you know what is on that tar file. You can restore any member(s) and, if needed, put the restored members in a different directory. In any case, you need a logical backup of your files.

The TSM product will do file level backups (with FCP attached tape) under Linux on System z .. but it's not free. I think it's the tape part that's going to limit options..if you could deal with using disk storage for 'archive' purposes, then there are lots of open source options.. everything

Hi all, A question came up about getting an older version of a file on a Linux disk, which I was able to do by restoring the DASD that held the file in question to a temporary disk and then they could do whatever they liked with the file, easy enough. It got me to thinking about, what would ha
