Fran,
HSM is different than a backup, and serves a different purpose than
convenience restores or Disaster Recovery. As I understand it, its chief
purpose is to economize on high cost data storage.
I had not heard of DFS before you asked about it. It seems that it
replicates filesystems on one server to other servers. What I read implies
that one use is for low bandwidth networks.
If that is the case, you should be able to use a standard BA Client.
Particularly in 6.2 with compression at the client, you could even back up the
distant Clients with little network impact if data change is not heavy. But,
do you really need to? What benefit is there to backing up a distant clone of
a local filesystem?
We backup DR servers at a remote location using TSM servers at that DR
Data Center because it would not do much good to have the DR data backed up at
the primary site. In our case there is an entire data center to back up at the
distant site, not one server.
But, if you have your local server backed up, you should be able to
replicate using DFS if a distant server fails or a filesystem becomes corrupt.
You are already paying for it.
