Hello
I'm currently in search for a solution (read: a solvable way) for a filer with a staggered file backup in two steps. Only the Snapshots (ZFS based) should be backuped. My hardware consists of a HP DL380G5 Server (8GB) with a QLogic 4GBit FC 23TB RAID6 Storage Volume (Infortrend), a 4TB u320 SCSI (EasyRAID) Backup [ATTO UL4D] Volume and a few libraries (HP 48Port LTO4, Overland Powerloader LBX17 LTO3, Arcvault 24 Slot LTO3, Overland Arcvault 48Port LTO3).
I thought sharing the 23TB ZFS (Load Balancing for the 2 FC ports would be interesting) and to set via AD the ACLs. This volume I want to create a snapshot every day which should be backuped, first to the 4TB Storage, afterwards (Low water/highwater mark) to tape. A GUI (for the Backup tasks apart from the NAS config page) is quite important (so a pure pax is not enough); to cope with clients directly would be fine (Bacula like).
Has anyone tested or used FreeNAS for such a task. What was your experience?
Amanda leaps to my mind as I worked 12yrs ago in combination with netBSD on such a NAS project.
