With the demise of the B/A web-client in 7.1.8+, we are in desperate need of an alternative solution to handling our DFS/ISILON backups.
Being a university, the big issue is that everyone wants control over backups to be able to perform restores by themselves! Our current (soon to be unusable) solution is 3-dedicated physical Windows servers with 25-configurations/services (each) of the B/A client (each with unique ports for the web-client). The backup schedules contain the specific filesystem/mount it backs up. So, department level folks can use a web browser to connect to the correct port on the backup servers to manage their restores. The volume of backups makes it almost impossible to shift everything to one node (380TB / 225M objects) and if one server was able to handle it, it would shift restore responsibility to some sort of "help desk"! So, how do you handle this kind of scenario in your institution/organization? -- *Zoltan Forray* Spectrum Protect (p.k.a.
