Depends how much bandwith you have and how recent you want the backup to be. Possible solutions if you have a high enough bandwith are using mirroring in ZFS with one of the sides of the mirror being an iSCSI target on another machine. Or for a similar solution using AVS (see the opensolaris storage community). -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
