2.2.3OPTIONS

•–f ,– –file

Perform FSE backup and copy the backup image to disk or both backup

destinations: disk and tape. With disk destination, location and filename of the backup image file are defined by the argument BackupFileName. With tape destination, the backup image is written to a medium that belongs to the backup FSE media pool:

–if the – –mediumoption is not specified, the backup image is written to the first available medium;

–if the – –mediumoption is specified, the backup image is written to the medium with barcode Barcode.

If this medium already contains backup images from previous FSE backup sessions, the new backup image is appended to the existing backup image set. If – –fileand BackupFileName are omitted from the fsebackup invoca- tion, the backup image is copied to tape only.

IMPORTANT: If both backup destinations are selected (the – –fileoption is specified without the additional – –nomediaoption), and the backup im- age cannot be copied to tape for some reason (FSE media pool is not con- figured, all backup FSE media are full, the backup FSE medium specified by the options – –mediaBarcode is full), the backup session as a whole will fail. However, the actual backup process will partially succeed and the backup image will be copied to disk. In the opposite case, when the backup image cannot be copied to disk for some reason, the backup process will fail completely and the backup image will neither be copied to tape.

•BackupFileName

Name of the file in which FSE backup image will be stored. The name can contain absolute or relative path. On Windows systems, paths to shares in the UNC format are also supported. If the character "." (a dot) is specified at the end of BackupFileName, the filename is automatically constructed from name of the host on which fsebackup is run and the current timestamp. The following template is used for automatic generation: <HostName>– <YYYY><MM><DD>– <hh><mm><ss>.tar.bz2. The .tar.bz2 exten- sion is also appended to the filename if the specified filename does not al- ready include it.

File System Extender (FSE) specifications

HP File System Extender (FSE) is a sophisticated solution designed to optimize data storage management for enterprises that deal with large volumes of unstructured data. This technology addresses the challenges of data growth and the need for effective data retention strategies, enabling organizations to store and manage their information more efficiently.

One of the main features of HP FSE is its ability to intelligently migrate data between primary and secondary storage. By utilizing policies that determine when to move infrequently accessed files to lower-cost storage environments, FSE helps reduce the strain on primary storage systems and saves on costs associated with high-performance storage solutions. This tiered approach to data management ensures that organizations can access the data they need quickly while still maintaining an efficient overall storage architecture.

Another notable characteristic of HP FSE is its seamless integration with existing storage infrastructures. The solution works with a variety of storage systems, allowing organizations to utilize their current investments without the need for significant changes to their infrastructure. This interoperability is powered by advanced technologies that facilitate data migration and retrieval, ensuring a smooth transition for organizations looking to optimize their storage strategies.

Additionally, HP FSE is equipped with robust reporting and analytics capabilities. This functionality provides organizations with insights into their storage usage, helping them understand data patterns and optimize their storage environments accordingly. By having visibility into which files are accessed most frequently and which are rarely used, organizations can make informed decisions on data retention policies and storage management.

Security is paramount in data management, and HP FSE addresses this concern by implementing advanced data protection features. This includes data encryption, secure access controls, and compliance with industry regulations, ensuring that sensitive information is safeguarded throughout its lifecycle.

Overall, HP File System Extender is a comprehensive data storage solution that combines intelligent data management, seamless integration, insightful analytics, and robust security features. By leveraging these capabilities, organizations can efficiently manage their unstructured data, lower costs, and enhance operational efficiency, making it an invaluable tool in today’s data-driven landscape.
