Just by way of agreeing with Steve about how to replicate data: Replication has to be done at the file system or application level, or it has to be done synchronously. synchronous replication is only possible at short distances, so for many situations, something like rsync is the way to go. Remember, though, that unlike most big-box replication schemes, ( EMC SRDF, HDS TrueCopy, etc) NetApp Snap Copy DOES go through the file system, so it can be used over longer distances and lower-bandwidth connections than the likes of SRDF.
