Storage Bat
Storage Bat - Efficient Data Archiver
-
Storage Bat runs on on x86 Linux.
-
It is primarily designed for storage backup/archiving.
-
It optimizes storage by removing duplicate blocks across files.
The following steps will help you get quickly started with Storage Bat.
1. Install mongodb binaries and start mongod service.
- Follow the steps documented at
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-red-hat-centos-or-fedora-linux - service status mongod
2. Check that mongo client is able to connect
- mongo
3. Add the path <install_dir>/src/third_party/lib /etc/ld.so.con and run ldconfig</install_dir>
- Or set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the above path.
4. Build
- scons
5. Run a quick test and it it passes you are nearly there!
- ./quicktest.sh
6. Mount the storage bat as a file system
- cd out/debug/bin
- ./sbat_start
7. You are all set, if you see:
- storagebat on /mnt/sbat type fuse.storagebat (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other)
8. Now you can archive/backup files by copying them under /mnt/sbat which is the root dir of storage bat.
Note that storage bat will optimize data storage by eliminating duplicate storage blocks from the archives.
9. To stop/unmount storage bat (it needs to sleep sometimes :)) for upgrades/maintenance:
- ./sbat_stop
In case you want to absolutely clean it all up, run
- scons -c
