4.3 Backup Design

This section describes the hardware required to restore backed up file systems and the methods used to perform backups.

If the GFS Shared File System consists of multiple partitions, backups should be restored on a partition basis. If tape devices and hard disk devices are configured, considered for a load distribution control of assigning I/O transactions, backup and restore tasks can be distributed on all the nodes, and this will reduce the time required to backup and restore each partition.
