Efficient Management of Consistent Backups in a Distributed File System
Jan Stender · 2009
Setting up backup infrastructures for large-scale data management systems that can be operated cheaply and accessed with low latency has emerged as a practical problem. As a solution, we present a highly scalable and cost-efficient architecture for backup management in a distributed file system. We describe techniques for the creation of consistent backups at runtime, as well as approaches to resource management in connection with an integrated backup architecture.
