Hi,

due to our huge volume of data/files to backup (and restore) my PHB is looking 
for a "new" storage architecture.
He wants to offload or archive files off Windows file servers which are rarely 
accessed. Those files should be stored on cheap storage media like SATA drivers 
and when files aren't used for about half a year a migration to tapes should be 
done (Is that HSM?).
Always our users should access their files without a differnet tool than just 
run windows explorer/word/excel and open that file off our windows servers. The 
storage tool should care about where the location of the file is and retrieve 
it asap. If it's on tape delay must be accepted.

I don't know whether that the mailing list that can point me into a "new" 
direction but I thought that TSM client offers such a feature. Unfortunately I 
cannot find how to setup it.

Which do people cut down the increase of data/files which must be kept online 
on our Windows file servers?

Regards,
