We're in the same boat ... The emc guys are telling us to use CASBAR
(Content Addressable Storage Backup and Recovery).
If I understand it all it does is extract the data from the centera and put on 
a file system of tivoli to pick up.
Hope that helps.

            I looked around in the archives here and found info on backing
TO a Centera box but nothing about backing up the data FROM a Centera box.

            We are in the process of migrating assorted files on to our box
and we need to see about backing up the data we move onto it. We are aware
that the box itself has got all kinds of redundancy built in to protect the
data that is stored on it but we are concerned about the box itself being
lost due to fire, flood, locusts, or some IS guy going nuts with a shotgun.

            The vender said something about buying a mirror copy of what we
already have but that's very expensive. Isn't there someway to backup the
data on a Centera for purposes of disaster recovery?
