Sadat, You may consider an alternative configuration to protect your data. Look into using a NetApp FAS2020 at both sites with a snapmirror relationship. You could also put a TSM server and tape library at the remote site to make a tape copy of mirrored data. The nice thing of using snapmirrors is that only changes are propagated, minimizing bandwidth requirements between both sites.
