Hi Matt, With Spectrum Scale object storage, you can create storage policies, and then assign containers to those policies. Each policy will map to a GPFS independent fileset. That way, you can subdivide object storage and manage different types of objects based on the type of data stored in the container/storage policy (i.e., back up some types of object data nightly, some weekly, some not at all).
Today, we don't have a cli to simplify to restoring individual objects. But using commands like swift-get-nodes, you can determine the filesystem path to an object, and then restore only that item. And if you are using storage policies with file & object access enabled, you can access the object/files by file path directly.

Do you replicate using GPFS and forget about backups? > https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_4.2.1/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r21.doc/bl1adv_osbackup.htm This seems good for a full recovery but what if I just lost one object? Seems if objectizer is in use then both tivoli and space management can be used on the file. Thanks in advance for your responses.
