I have been asked to move a departmental system into our central Spectrum Protect backup system. The departmental system is running an open-source backup product called Bareos, which is a fork of Backula. Anybody done anything like this?
I assume there is no practical way to simply import the Bareos database and backup tapes into Spectrum Protect. Nice if we could, but I doubt it would be possible. The biggest pitfall I see is that it is not just doing backups, but also archives. The backups are easy - we start backups to Spectrum Protect, and then keep Bareos going for restores only for the duration of the promised restore window, and then just stop running Bareos. The archives will be harder. Any ideas for moving archived data between backup systems? How have you dealt with file name-space collisions in a temporary restore strategy of archived data? They are, of course, in a hurry. Roger Deschner University of Illinois at Chicago rog...@uic.edu I have not lost my mind -- it is backed up on tape somewhere.
