Re: Files to secondary location

We're adding a regional recovery site to our "metro" recovery scenario.
In the metro scenario I back up my volhist and devcnfg  files to a drive
that is on the SAN in the other building.  No SAN at the regional site.

scp?  unison is a keen solution but relatively recent.  It's N-way,
though, which is nice.

How do you usually get files from one site to another?

There's a much easier way.

Create a PREPARE statement (which includes your items), and email it as
an attachment to a gmail.com or yahoo.com mail account. There's nothing
proprietary about it, and the prepare statement has a completely
scripted process for rebuilding your TSM server.

That way, the data is available at any location that has internet
access. Easy, fast, and cheap!

Files to secondary location

2007-01-03 Thread Whitlock, Brett
We have a secondary site that we are using for DR.  We are replicating
primary pool volumes to this location using virtual tape libraries.
Anybody doing something similar?  Do you have any suggestions on how
best to get my volhist and devconfig from a SAN drive on my Windows TSM
server at the primary site to a file server at the secondary location?
I was trying to think of a nice way to script this?  
 
Thanks-Brett
