[Veritas-bu] multipathing with tapes on Linux?

2011-07-27 Thread David Magda
Hey, Anyone know if Linux (specifically RHEL 5.x) supports multi-pathing to tapes? Is it worth setting up a media server with a 10 GigE interface and two (or more) FC connections on the other? AFAICT, the device-mapper-multipath only support MPIO for block devices. Is this assessment correct?

Isn't Greenplum's database based on PostgresSQL? If so, while not officially supported by NBU, whatever you can find online with regards to that you can probably leverage: post- and pre- scripts as mentioned, but also using WAL files to achieve PITR if you don't want to do straight dumps.
