My apology up front if this has been discussed already. I've reviewed the archives back to Nov. 2005 and found little of anything. I need some information concerning support for OCFS2 by backup products. Currently we use IBM/Tivoli's TSM tool. They don't support OCFS2 filesystems. And it looks like they have no intent to supporting the FS in next releases. Note... They do support their own NAS FS, GPFS. But this costs extra. Additionally, the small testing I have done is that a file under an OCFS2 FS backs up and recovers quite nicely. I have not tested using ACL-lists. But don't really care about those. This issue comes down to support. So... I guess what I am looking for is some indication of what the user community with OCFS2 and doing backups has been along similar issues. Sorry... The environment being supported is SLES 10 SP2 64-bit on DELL & HP hardware. Thanks in advance, -B -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I use HP Data Protector. OCFS2 is supported in v6.0. ________________________________ From: ocfs2-users-bounces at oss.oracle.com [mailto:ocfs2-users-bounces at oss.oracle.com] On Behalf Of Bumpass, Brian Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2009 1:31 PM To: ocfs2-users at oss.oracle.com Subject: [Ocfs2-users] OCFS2 FS with BACKUP Tools/Vendors My apology up front if this has been discussed already.

We've used Veritas NetBackup before without problems but are currently toying with rsyncing to ZFS (running on OpenSolaris) with fs compression and daily (ZFS) snapshots and then possibly dumping to tape. It's working really well so far. All of this actually happens from a SAN based snapshot of the OCFS2 volume so that we can have a point in time backup and not hassle the production machines with backups (even though the underlying storage is still being taxed).
