The most experienced guys in this business are likely to be found on BackupCentral.com. You even get some of the back-end techies who work at one of the vendors, where they're willing to talk about real-world experience and bypass all the sales FUD. Curtis certainly doesn't put up with any sales FUD. Search for dedupe and read all the articles that come up. The most recent one I saw was at http://www.backupcentral.com/mr-backup-blog-mainmenu-47/13-mr-backup-blog/325-post-process-vendors-publish-speeds.html > I'm also interested in real world experience with WAN replication > cross country (80ms RTT) and globally (250ms RTT).

Do a snapshot first, then replicate the snapshot. You could obviously front-end or back-end that process with de-dupe, as appropriate. -- Brad Knowles <[email protected]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
