Hi Aravinda, Venky, Kotresh and me had a discussion on "Data Maintenance infrastructure" that will help Data maintenance services like Data Tiering, Bitrot, Backup, dedupe etc to identify the data(file/directory) set to work on using sequential notification service or non-sequential recording Data Store service. Today as part of the data tiering project I have the non-sequential recording data store ready that will give you a list of file that are hotter/colder (both read/write). i,e in your scenario files that have change from the last backup. But this is just a part of the solution. As far as I know, Venky is going to come up with a elaborate document on this soon. On the NDMP side I have few question for you, 1) Are you planning to develop our own NDMP Tape and Data Service from the scratch? 2) Or are you planning to use a well established 3rd party NDMP Tape and Data Service? Well that case we need to give the list of files that need to be backup to such a software.

Many Network backup utilities like Bacula(open source), Amanda(open source), Symantec NetBackup support NDMP(http://www.ndmp.org/). Comparison is available here http://wiki.bacula.org/doku.php?id=comparisons Plan is to create glusterfs-ndmp-server, which utilizes glusterfs changelogs to detect changes for incremental backup. Design is not yet finalized, Comments & Suggestions Welcome. Looks like a project(https://forge.gluster.org/ndmp-server) in forge.gluster is discontinued. PS: NDMP support is not available in Open Source editions of Bacula and Amanda, but available in Enterprise Editions. References: ----------- 1.
