Veritas is definitely good and we are using their product at the moment for backup. However we also want to build a off-site system so in case of something happens to the system, we'll still have production server working.
anyway, according to this http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kripac/orac-nbd/ , seems NBD works with Solaris.
oh well, u r probably right.
Thanks for your time.

that was what i was thinking of, although as someone else mentioned
you need to understand the difference between a RAID and a backup.

Yes, it matters. nbd is a linux thing. Call your veritas rep for their
network mirroring product if mirroring meets your needs.
