* have a way to recover cell structure for disaster recovery * integration of databases * list of files in backup dump to present to users for recovery * new more stable incarnation of butc with capability of plugging in site specific backup systems * think of very loose coupling (not too tight integration), so that customizing for site backup system remains mannageble * take simplest form of backup (vos dump, full & incremental), extract metadata, use site BS * have more snapshots or PIT RO clones * could we have CoW file histories? * have -omitdirs for backup/butc * vos dump with only diffs per file dumped * revisit XBSA API for connecting site BS * revisit reverse incr backup? not doing 2 consecutive full backups, but having an incremental generally: * DR capability * incidental single file restore * file-level differential * support for different front ends * conserve (at least)) current backup policy * not necessarily need server local disk for backup Site: please describe your current setup below in separate subpages. (if possible add restore statistics) [[CERN Backup Setup]]
