Data management

IBM Storage Scale DAS stores S3 objects and S3 buckets as files and directories in the IBM Storage Scale file system that is owned by the IBM Storage Scale storage cluster.

IBM Storage Scale DAS supports the use of selected data management features that are in-built in IBM Storage Scale. These include following features:

IBM Storage Scale filesets to prepare the underlying IBM Storage Scale file system for the use of fileset based data management.
IBM Storage Scale storage pools and IBM Storage Scale information lifecycle management (ILM) to integrate storage media with varying performance and capacity into the same file system, such as NVMe, SSD, and NL-SAS.
Backup and restore the files and directories using the IBM Storage Scale mmbackup command.
