I'm looking for information about the availability and function of
intelligent archive software running under Unix (SunOS 4 on Sun 4 to
be specific) for the Exabyte drive. By "intelligent archive"
software, I mean software that will automatically identify files that
have not been accessed for some period (set by a configuration
script), copy these files to the Exabyte tape, then remove the files
from disk. Also, it should maintain a catalog of the files on archive
tapes (including version information), and provide a user interface
for requesting the return of one or more files. Finally, the software
should have a facility to take advantage of the Exabyte's fast strip
search capability.
Does such a best exist? If so, can anyone send me advice and
contacts? Please mail responses; I'll summarize if there's interest.
My apologies if this has been a recent discussion item. My site just
got news.
