My current client has a V2X2 and is thinking about replacing it with a
Shark. SnapShot is used to snap 600 volumes in about 5-10 minutes. The
physical tape backups are done from the snaps and take about 8 hours. This
DR process is fully tested and works great. My main concern if we replace
the V2X2 with the Shark is the DR process. Has FlashCopy improved to the
point that you can make a point in time backup and physically move it to
tape later? And can you FlashCopy the entire box in a few minutes? If not,
the DR process for this client is going to get much more complicated. PPRC
or XRC are not options due to cost. Let me know your thoughts.

Tom Conley
