Current backup/archive situation

*In some cases, groups can appoint a Data Manager to copy their /sdf/data directory to an HPSS archive instead of using TSM backups. In either case, the group is responsible for tape media purchases.

Target backup/archive strategy

| File system | Snapshot | Tape backup (TSM-like) | Tape archive (HPSS-like) | Done by | Paid by |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| sdfhome | To S3 bucket | No | From S3 snapshots | S3DF | SLAC |
| sdfscratch | No | No | No | - | - |
| sdfk8s | To S3 bucket | No | From S3 snapshots | S3DF | SLAC |
| sdfdata | To S3 bucket | No | Active, from files | Group | Group |
| sdfdata:/u | To S3 bucket | No | From S3 snapshots | S3DF | Group |
| S3 direct | No | No | From S3 | Group | Group |

?> sdfdata:/u indicates folders that logically belong to sdfgroup but
are too large to be paid for by SLAC.

?> The target backup strategy is aspirational, we need to find the
right tools to copy from S3 to tape.
**We are still evaluating tools to copy from S3 to tape.
