Technical Report: VERITAS VxFS - Backup and Recovery Using a NetApp Filer in a SAN Environment

Overview A Network Appliance filer offers the UNIX administrator using VxFS compelling advantages in terms of backup and recovery. Use of Snapshot, combined with conventional backup-to-tape techniques, can dramatically optimize the server backup operation. Backup and recovery performance is dramatically improved over conventional local disk and SAN configurations, improving mean-time-to-recovery (MTTR) intervals. This paper details the implementation of file system freeze/thaw functionality with VERITAS File System (VxFS) with NetApp filer Snapshot copies to perform backup and recovery using iSCSI and Fibre Channel filers.
