AIX File Systems: Back Up and Restore Using a NetApp Filer in a SAN Environment

Overview This paper details the implementation of file system backup and restore using AIX's journaling file systems (JFS and Enhanced JFS) with NetApp filer Snapshot technology to perform backup and recovery using iSCSI and Fibre Channel filers. A Network appliance filer offers the UNIX administrator using AIX LVM and JFS compelling advantages in terms of backup and recovery. Use of Snapshot technology, combined with conventional backup-to-tape techniques, can dramatically optimize the server backup operation.
