Ok. That gives me a bit more confidence in that product. J

Let me ask this in a slightly different way then. assuming it does what it *says* it does, do you trust Symantec to do the replication for you? I know that I won't ever use their antivirus if I'm given an option, but I've never used any flavor of BackupExec, since Symantec bought the product a few years ago.

It does a block-changed copy after the initial sync. (Warning: that's what the documentation says, I've never used the specific product.) From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 9:58 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Symantec Backup Exec System Restore 2010 One of my vendors is proposing using Symantec Backup Exec System Restore to mirror two SANs. That seems like it would have a LOT of overhead and would want to take a backup of the "primary" SAN and restore it to the D/R SAN every time. Considering I'm trying to do this over a WAN link, and not a dedicated point-to-point link either, I don't think I want to try backing up and restoring several terabytes! Am I mistaken in my understanding? All I want to do is copy the changes from the "main" SAN to the "D/R" SAN. Would Backup Exec System Restore do that?
