As to SAN, this maybe related..... We have found netbackup on large Cyrus mail-store volumes are a problem due to the many small files. We've been ameliorating this with multiple streams but eventually it will be a time problem for us. I've recently started working with netbackup7 ability to backup the VMware image This allows the backup of a large SAN LUN to take place on the head node. Currently using it on our Sympa list-server node which has same problem as Cyrus, many small files for the list archives. No client install required No backup loading on the VM Backups fairly quick, it's a stream of a snapshot of the image DR would be quick API into the backup image allows individual file recoveries We are not currently running Cyrus in VM, but I can see where we will be eventually, and what we'd do for backup/recovery. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
