2.2.2 DESCRIPTION
Backup of the FSE system is performed in such a way that it preserves a consistent
state of information stored in FSE databases, FSE system files and user data on
HSM file systems. Its operation was designed to obstruct normal FSE system
operation to as little extent as possible.
There are three levels of backup:
• Server backup
It will backup all the required databases stored on FSE server, but will not
backup any data on FSE clients (HSM file system and Hierarchical Storage
Management Database (HSMDB)). HSM file system can be recovered from
File System Catalog (FSC) with fserecover command. This is the fastest
and preferred way of doing backup.
• Full backup
It will backup all the required databases stored on FSE server and all FSE
clients. It is possible to recover the whole FSE system (server & clients) by
doing restore.
• Single client backup
It will backup all the required databases stored on FSE server and specific
FSE client. It is possible to recover the FSE server and specific client by do-
ing restore, while other clients would require running fserecover command
to recover HSM file system.
