We're in the same boat ... The emc guys are telling us to use CASBAR (Content Addressable Storage Backup and Recovery). If I understand it all it does is extract the data from the centera and put on a file system of tivoli to pick up. Hope that helps.

We are in the process of migrating assorted files on to our box and we need to see about backing up the data we move onto it. We are aware that the box itself has got all kinds of redundancy built in to protect the data that is stored on it but we are concerned about the box itself being lost due to fire, flood, locusts, or some IS guy going nuts with a shotgun. The vender said something about buying a mirror copy of what we already have but that's very expensive. Isn't there someway to backup the data on a Centera for purposes of disaster recovery?
