Abstract
Disclosed is a system for backing up files in a distributed computing system, such as a distributed file system. A backup request is initiated with a backup client program to backup a requested file. A determination is made as to whether the requested file is maintained in a shared name space. The backup client program and a backup server program are capable of accessing files maintained in the shared name space. The file server maintains the files in the shared name space. The backup request is transmitted to the backup server program upon determining that the requested file is maintained in the shared name space. The backup server program transmits a message to the file server to provide the requested file. The file server transmits the requested file to the backup server program. The backup server program stores the requested file in a storage device.
