Storing it in a database is a fine idea. You could also use the
Replica Location Service for this task, I think. RLS make a map
between logical names (like "Files to be backed up on date nn/nn")
and physical file names (like "host1:/path/to/file" and "host2:/path/
to/other/file") that you can query and create with commandline tools.

Hi,
I am trying to implement a storage service. This requires me to
store an index of the names of files that have been backed up,
client hostname and the time when it was backed up. During a
recovery, I want to find out from my index as to where the backed
up data resides and fetch it from there.
How can I maintain an index of the files backed up along with the
client name and date/time? Should I just create a database and
dump these values so that the or is there a better way to do it
with Globus toolkit? (I want this index of files to reside on
secondary storage. ).
