We currently run netbackup to push about 1.3PB of real data to
tape. This using 1 nb master and a single media server that is also
a GPFS client. The media server uses the spare file system space as
a staging area before writing to tape. We have recently invested
into a TSM server due to limitations of netbackup. The PVU
licensing model makes TSM cost effective. We simply are not able to
speed up the netbackup catalog even with SSD. You could potentially
use the gpfs ilm engine to create file lists to feed to netbackup.<br>
<br>
netbackup (now back to veritas) does not officially support GPFS.
Netbackup is not aware of gpfs metadata.<br>

<div>We have a relatively mature NetBackup environment which
handles all of our tape backup requirements (e.g. databases,
NetApp via NDMP, Windows shares, and native Linux – which
provides rudimentary coverage of GPFS). Because of this
existing base, we’re
hesitant to invest in a completely separate infrastructure
just for the benefit of GPFS backups. While this works well
for many filesets, it’s not ideal for very large ones. </div>

<div>We’ve been trying to get Veritas to support a more
parallel file-scan and file-copy approach to backing up GPFS
filesystems, and have repeatedly hit a brick wall there over
the past year. But I have a recent thread in which they
note that there is a fairly
large and vocal GPFS customer who drives significant feature
flow in their product. Any chance that customer is a member
of the User Group? If so, I’d love to hear from you.</div>
