We are looking at standing up some new filesystems and management would like us to investigate alternative options to Scale+Protect. In particular, they are interested in the following:
Replicate to a remote filesystem (I assume this is best done via AFM). Take periodic (probably daily) snapshots at the remote site. The thought here is that this gives us the ability to restore data more quickly than we could with tape and also gives us a DR system in the event of a failure at the primary site. Does anyone have experience with this kind of setup? I know this is a solution that will require a fair amount of scripting and some cron jobs, both of which will introduce a level of human error. Are there any other gotchas we should be aware of? The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged, confidential, and/or protected from disclosure.
