Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that would make too much sense -
same with going to TSM VE or SAN based backups. There is this obsession
with individualized, user/department/group managed, controlled backups on a
file-level, thus resulting is SAN storage being backed up via physical
servers and IP traffic. There are too many hundreds of terabytes of ISILON
storage/backups to manage that many snapshots. When we do VMware
snapshots, we usually can't keep them more than a day or two.
