Backing up Isilon?
Anyone within eyeshot of this post backing up Isilon? I've been checking out the details of what it takes to back up these massive "scale-out" storage systems ("Big Data"). I think I get it - but I'm wondering in practice what is actually being done at customer sites. Let me know if you have any details to share. I'd appreciate a first hand account.
Thanks,
Eric

Are the backups from "fastest NAS system" also fast?
OK, joke aside, I remember 2 years ago during session at EMC World I was told Isilon backup is done (or can be done) at folder level via NDMP. My question would be, you probably have several hundreds or thousands so how many of those you can run in parallel and how does that translate to restore and DR if you would need to rely on NDMP backups you did before.

NDMP Backups its a mistery all the time. I can run in parallel more than one backup at the same time (using 10 G connections and DSA could be faster) but when you add a Backup Accelerator NDMP support target session =1 and can't be modified. In that way, could be faster but need a big tape library (DD VTL/Falconstore VTL) to add enough drives for backup.
