Hello everyone, I am working on a san with several tbs of storage with iscsi for esxi server for my company. We have decided what we want and how to go about it however a little detail may throw a wrench in this whole thing. How do people go about backups for this amount of storage in a live environment. I was thinking tapes but that will get pricey real quick. I could use snapshots, however if some catastrophic thing happens say the server is in a fire (I know bad example but you catch my drift) snapshots are completely useless(I believe I am right?) I also thought about a High availability configuration, however off site would be a pain, it is doable but we would then need a Colo. I could do a non raided nas or san that it is backed up to with cheap hardware but that seems finicky as well. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be terrific.
Thanks! Greg -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
