Tim, are you sure about this? I can't imagine having 100% of the original valume available as cache space, nor the load on the client, and the time that would be required to completely mirror a multi TB filesystem! Could it be that it uses something more along the lines of a Copy-On-Write snapsho

Simon, Is this 4TB on a single filesystem? I'm guessing not how many different drive letters? how big is each? Is each drive letter on a sparate LUN/RG on the SAN, or do you have a couple of 1TB LUNs that you partition or combine on the host side into what you need. I've got one server here

Ø Flashbackup will improve the performance (it caches the data as a sort of snapshot then backs-up the snapshot so it's like a large file rather than loads of small ones, or something like that) but because it works per volume, you need the space for the cache, which is at least the same size
