Guys, I'm still working on my storage needs, as the project I've been working on probably won't get approved until early next year at the earliest. I was talking to a D/R consultant recommended by one of the folks on this list. Unfortunately, he does not work with SMB clients, only large clients such as Coca Cola, etc.
I had been thinking of getting two SANs and having one replicate to the other for D/R purposes. Most of our operations run off the AS/400 so that would not be much affected (except if we are able to some how back up to the SAN, which is unlikely with our current AS/400, due to disk space limitations on the 400) one way or the other by the SAN project. The aforementioned consultant suggested that we look into getting just one SAN and a tape backup for it or online backup service instead of doing two SANs. Most of the data on the Windows side of things would be hard to replace if it died, so while it's not "critical" to our operations, it's still highly important. What do you guys think of that suggestion? Would any of you guys do something like that? Why or why not? Also, anyone know any D/R consultants in the North Georgia area who work with SMB clients?
