Re: Ping Shazad: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

[Shazad Anwar]

Hi Sam,

I'm not using partial file updating myself but I've seen it used on  
1TB file server where it was able to handle 5GB files (TrueCrypt).

I would try emailing the developer as he's usually very helpful.

Ping Shazad: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

[Sam Cayze]

Are you using Partial File updating with the remote service over SSH at
all?
 
Having issues :(

For a lan if you feel up to the task: http://www.drbd.org

 

I use it in my datacenter, and am now replicating it for clients over
10/100meg fiber for entire esx servers and some just data servers. Seems to
work pretty well with little management.

And supports "Detects Moved Files"
"Detects Moved Files. If you reorganized your folders by moving files to
different locations, Super Flexible File Synchronizer will detect this
and quickly perform the same moves, for example, on your laptop. No
extraneous copying!"
 
Awesome.
 
This has always bugged Syncing over all our desktop/laptop backups to
our DR site.  If someone renamed a 2GB folder, most utilities would
delete the original, and rsync the new 2GB folder.

There's a company called Datacore that will do synchronous and
asynchronous mirroring locally or to a remote DR site.  It sits between
your storage and the storage consumers, and the analogy I've used is
that it sort of "prisms" all traffic to/from the storage and splits off
a copy to send to your DR site.

Well worth looking into, although it's not cheap.  Also, you do need to
implement their recommended HA configuration unless you're willing to
accept a single point of failure between your data and your servers.

How close to real-time you get will depend on your bandwidth

Yeah...there were a couple different types of errors -- one was
insufficient space for replication (the drive on the main server was low
on drive space so it couldn't replicate...) and another problem was as
you said that there were open files when it was trying to replicate.

Unfortunately, those are show stoppers for us. We need something that
will ignore locked files and replicate no matter what.

Robocopy with a scheduler ( System Scheduler is cool

Yeah...there were a couple different types of errors -- one was
insufficient space for replication (the drive on the main server was low
on drive space so it couldn't replicate...) and another problem was as
you said that there were open files when it was trying to replicate.

Unfortunately, those are show stoppers for us. We need something that
will ignore locked files and replicate no matter what.

We are currently using DFS to replicate between servers for D/R
purposes.
When attempting to access the DFS share, we noticed that sometimes the
data is not there, depending on which server we access at the moment.
I'm wondering what others are using for duplicating data between servers
for D/R purposes? Is there some software out there that doesn't cost a
bunch of money that'll duplicate the data in real-time or near real-time
(within minutes of changes, I want the changes replicated.)

 

Thanks!

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

[Kim Longenbaugh]

There's a company called Datacore that will do synchronous and
asynchronous mirroring locally or to a remote DR site.  It sits between
your storage and the storage consumers, and the analogy I've used is
that it sort of "prisms" all traffic to/from the storage and splits off
a copy to send to your DR site.

Well worth looking into, although it's not cheap.  Also, you do need to
implement their recommended HA configuration unless you're willing to
accept a single point of failure between your data and your servers.

How close to real-time you get will depend on your bandwidth

I'm not sure you are going to find anything out there that is less
expensive, and gives you what you are looking for, then going with DFS in
2008. I think the 3rd party products have more features, but you will pay a
premium for them. We had been using Double-Take at my previous job, and
switched to DFS with 2008.

We are currently using DFS to replicate between servers for D/R purposes.
When attempting to access the DFS share, we noticed that sometimes the data
is not there, depending on which server we access at the moment. I'm
wondering what others are using for duplicating data between servers for D/R
purposes? Is there some software out there that doesn't cost a bunch of
money that'll duplicate the data in real-time or near real-time (within
minutes of changes, I want the changes replicated.)

 

Thanks!

Re: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

[Andrew Laya]

We started out using DFS under 2003-R2 for a remote office, to
replicate data back to our location. We ran into the same sort of
thing as you mention. My biggest beef was the lack of real-time
monitoring to see what was actually going on. We ended up installing a
copy of HP Storage Mirroring that we had spare licences for (which is
basically rebranded Double-Take) and couldn't be happier with it. We
are mirroring over 2 million files, at almost 2 TB of data this way,
and I can see precisely what it is doing at any point in time.
Just my .02 worth.

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

[John Aldrich]

Thanks, Andy. I just don't have the confidence that my data is being
replicated. Eventually it'll be a moot point as we're looking at various SAN
or NAS solutions for early 2010 purchase. I haven't decided what I'll get
but I have a number of suggestions. I'm always happy with more suggestions.

Rsync or Xcopy via scheduled task if you're looking for a free MS based
replacement.  Just watch out for task overlap, I've seen people schedule 15
minute replication intervals for all deltas but it wasn't enough time to
complete...task queue fills up, you get the idea.  

I've also seen some IT mojo worked with the Microsoft file server migration
tool since it handles perms, shares, etc.  

I prefer Dfs if it's my call.

Options abound, YMMV.

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

[John Aldrich]

Yeah...there were a couple different types of errors -- one was insufficient
space for replication (the drive on the main server was low on drive space
so it couldn't replicate...) and another problem was as you said that there
were open files when it was trying to replicate.

Unfortunately, those are show stoppers for us. We need something that will
ignore locked files and replicate no matter what.
