<div><p>This topic discusses the different tape drives to be used for a Linux<sup>®</sup> backup.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Linux backup
|
||
|
|
applications can either save to an iSeries™ tape drive or a tape drive directly
|
||
|
|
controlled by a Linux server somewhere in the network.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Backing up to a native iSeries tape drive <p>iSeries tape drives can be accessed by
|
||
|
|
backup applications running on the integrated Linux server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Because
|
||
|
|
an iSeries tape
|
||
|
|
drive appears to an integrated Linux server as a directly connected tape
|
||
|
|
drive, you can also save remote integrated or non-integrated Linux servers
|
||
|
|
to the iSeries tape
|
||
|
|
drive across the network using a utility such as rsync. In other words, the iSeries tape
|
||
|
|
drive behaves exactly as if it were a native Linux tape drive.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Backing up to a native Linux tape drive <p>If you have a Linux-based
|
||
|
|
backup infrastructure already in place, it is likely that you have tape drives
|
||
|
|
attached to standalone Linux servers in the network. Therefore, you can save
|
||
|
|
files to a tape drive attached to an integrated Linux server in the same way as you would
|
||
|
|
save files on any other standalone Linux server in the network.</p>
