the difference as I know it is how the site is configured....a hot backup SITE is online and your systems are sharing the data..or the data is being copied to the alternate site in real time. Your primary site goes down..the hot backup site immediately kicks in.
A cold backup Site is one where the data is there..but the actuals systems are not up. So when you site goes down you have to contact the people there..or remotely power up the servers to take over. This is alittle easier to configure than a hot version and alittle less expensive. That is the site version....for just backups...hot is when you are backing up in real/time..normally to another drive array...and cold is when you take a snapshot and back it up at a specified time. -----Original Message----- From: Rodrigo Ramos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 3:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: hOt or cold back up?
