A Backup System for Efficient Backup and Restore in SAN Cluster Environments

It has been increased to use the SAN with increasing the size of storage device. In this paper, we design and implement a backup system to support the tape and disk based backup with devices and media in SAN cluster. Our backup system provides device and media management for efficiently managing a number of devices and media in SAN cluster. It also supports script management to process an additional tasks requested by clients and monitoring to control and manage tasks in execution. In addition, it supports reporting to offer backup and restore information to clients.
