Hi Skylar, Allan, Skylar - would I be right in thinking that you have 130 million files on your Isilon or did you mean you have 130 million files across all versions? May I also ask how many directories and user accounts are involved?
Allan - would you be happy to give some idea of the size of your Isilon setup? We're being asked about backing it up to tape now and have a number of concerns.
