The MYA backups have now been officially moved from bksrv3 (Sun 5.10) to
bklib2(RHEL6). Historically, we backed up 4 months to a single tape.
With the new system we are starting out backing up 12 months to a single
tape (with some tweaks and tests, I think this can be raised to 18
months). In addition, the restore process has been automated so that
the MYA Admin can run a script and have the entire online set mounted on
any MYA host. One final statistic to note is that the backup on
12/3/2011 from bksrv3 of MYA data (4 months) took 6.5 hours to backup
850MB. A backup of 1.95 TB on bklib2 of MYA data (13 months) took 3
hours and seven minutes. At the risk of dating myself, "I love it when
a plan comes together."
