Vyant's RealTime performs real-time replication of data on the AIX platform.
 
Pro: you have an up-to-date disk-based backup of your data *anytime* you need it
 
Cons: you need twice the disk space
      if the original gets corrupted, so does the replicant

Subject: How to backup large Unix filesystems on a Fastt?



Hello,
what is the best way to backup large Unix filesystems (5 TB or more) on a
Fastt storage system to TSM? Normal incremental backup would take too long,
especially with a large number of small files. Modern storage systems have
built in features like flash copy. How can this be used for TSM backup (and
not to forget: Restore)?
Best regards
Gerhard
