Windows Migration Tool for Hierarchical Storage Management? 17
A not-so Anonymous Coward would like to bring this query to your attention: "The company I work for is in the process of implementing an Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) solution for our ever-growing Departmental and Users data. I'm looking for a tool that has the functionality to move data from our NAS to a WIN2000 Server while leaving a link in the original location pointing to the new location. The WIN2000 server is using an HSM product to move the files from that server to tape after a period of time, to be recalled at a later point when required. If possible the tool would have the ability to filter files based on an exclude and an include list, file size, and last access date. Does such a tool exists for a WIN2000 environment or is there a better way to accomplish this?"

Are "reparse points" equivalent to symbolic links in UNIX? Symbolic links link pathnames rather than inodes and can span filesystems.

Use NFS or DFS (Score:2)
Microsoft Services for Unix has a GREAT NFS Server/Client for Windows 2000.
DFS is pretty limited on how it can be implemented in your environment.

www.adsm.org is a good place to start for resources about TSM
And I don't find it hard to set up at all --- it's a helluva lot easier than NetBackup, and a whole lot more functional, too!
Now, where can I get that job paying more, since I know TSM inside, out and backwards?

The commvault product is pretty flexible on the server end, being able to do most of what you described.
If you're going to migrate to tape, you'll probably be locked into using whatever works with your backup software/tape library.

HSM is the process where files that have not been modified for a specific amount of time (say 3-6 months) have been migrated off to secondary storage, and usually, less volatile media like DVDs, CDROMs, Tape, etc. Th
