[net.unix] Migration/Archive

kramer@ames-prandtl.arpa (08/26/86)

I am looking for information on a file archiving/migration system for large
UNIX systems.  We need to allow users to move files from disk to tape, while
maintaining the directory information.  When archived files are accessed, we
then need to automatically restore the files from tape.  Of course, once the
facility is there for the users, we would like to set up automatic procedures
to move files which are over a certain age or size.

Specific questions are:
	1) is there any software currently available to do all or part of 
the archive/migration?
	2) is anyone or any company working on software?

Thanks.
