<html><body><p>Hi Matt,<br>With Spectrum Scale object storage, you can create storage policies, and then assign containers to those policies. Each policy will map to a GPFS independent fileset. That way, you can subdivide object storage and manage different types of objects based on the type of data stored in the container/storage policy (i.e., back up some types of object data nightly, some weekly, some not at all). <br><br>Today, we don't have a cli to simplify to restoring individual objects. But using commands like swift-get-nodes, you can determine the filesystem path to an object, and then restore only that item.<br><br>And if you are using storage policies with file & object access enabled, you can access the object/files by file path directly.<br><br>Regards,<br>Bill Owen <br>billowen@us.ibm.com<br>Spectrum Scale Object Storage <br>520-799-4829<br><br><br><img width="16" height="16" src="cid:1__=8FBB0A89DFFF52C38f9e8a93df938690918c8FB@" border="0" alt="Inactive hide details for Matt Weil ---08/25/2016 11:51:46 AM---Hello all, Just brain storming here mainly but want to know how"><font color="#424282">Matt Weil ---08/25/2016 11:51:46 AM---Hello all, Just brain storming here mainly but want to know how you are all</font><br><br><font size="2" color="#5F5F5F">From: </font><font size="2">Matt Weil <mweil@wustl.edu></font><br><font size="2" color="#5F5F5F">To: </font><font size="2"><gpfsug-discuss@spectrumscale.org></font><br><font size="2" color="#5F5F5F">Date: </font><font size="2">08/25/2016 11:51 AM</font><br><font size="2" color="#5F5F5F">Subject: </font><font size="2">[gpfsug-discuss] Backup on object stores</font><br><font size="2" color="#5F5F5F">Sent by: </font><font size="2">gpfsug-discuss-bounces@spectrumscale.org</font><br><hr width="100%" size="2" align="left" noshade style="color:#8091A5; "><br><br><br><tt>Hello all,<br><br>Just brain storming here mainly but want to know how you are all<br>approaching this.
