How much data is traversing the WAN for the continuous replication?

It works well and take very minimal bandwidth to keep the remote site synced to the central server. The initial replication took a while for some sites (we throttled to minimize the impact to users) and with 5 TB you might consider prestaging it. -Brian ________________________________ From: Roger Wright [mailto:rwri...@evatone.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 1:22 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Backups Over WAN For those of you who are backing up over the WAN: Wwhat types of hardware and software are required for this to work efficiently? Does it only work well with deduplication? Would I have to rethink my nightly/weekly/monthly backup strategies? I'm currently working with BE 12 soon to be 12.5 and would like to stick with that if possible. And we have about 5 TB total data stored right now.
