Clustered file system for storing large number of backups


Need your advice in choosing distributed file system.
So, I need distributed file system for storing many backups (regular files, sql dumps, etc).
Ideal will be:

  • distributed
  • actively maintained (at least not dead)
  • quick failover (for geographically distributed nodes)
  • large community
  • Open Source

So far I've two choices: XtreemFS and GlusterFS. First seems to be cool, but it hasn't large community and in generally develops slow (also it's Java-based).
Gluster - RedHat and other nice things, but the are some negative reviews.

Need help with this :)
