The DR part is the part I'm most interested in, as well. The idea, they tell me, is that you FTP your one-pack (or whatever) image to the DR system, then IPL it, and it has the agent on it to do the restores. I'll know more about how that works when I give it a try; the details seem a bit scant.
We're looking to save a big pile of money on the DLm and DD, since ours are about to go out of service. I think it'll work for all that, but I'm not going to hang my hat on it until we give it a try. We do have an institutionally large presence with AWS, and we'll be using S3 for the backup storage; we have a nice fat pipe there, so bandwidth shouldn't be an issue. You will need to pay attention to that, though. I'm not expecting to be able to actually try it for another couple of weeks at minimum, hopefully before SHARE in Cleveland. I'll post when I have some results. On Fri, Jul 18, 2025 at 3:08 PM Michael Babcock < [email protected]> wrote: > We’d be interested in anything you have to say about it.
