BoostFS limitations
I'm trying to look at options to backup MySQL and MongoDB as it would seem DDBEA is not supported with these databases.
So I investigated BoostFS. Whilst it offers the functionality of DDBoost performance and deduplication, it does not provide proper secure segregation of data. If I have 10 x MongoDBs then any MongoDB host can grab files from any of the others via the DDBoostFS filesystem.
Yes we could configure many storage-units however with a possible 500 databases in this client environment, DDs only support up to 128 Mtrees/storage-units.
this makes me believe that the only secure route is to use Avamar guest level backups with pre-scripts which write to a local disk then the Avamar dataset backups it up to the DD....
If anyone can relate to this and elaborate I'd be interested to know.
thanks, Mike

Mike,
You could use Kerberos authentication to isolated users by storage unit. Also the MySQL/MongoDB enterprise tools might have some type of multi-tenancy, permission or ACLs for isolation..
Plus backup servers usually manages the files that it has written, reading or grabbing a unfamiliar file who be have to initiated by an DD or MongoDB administrator.
