Richard and all,
Have you look at the innovative and awrd winning VPSN product? More info at http://www.webofficenow.com/solutions-backup.html This may be a simple and cost effective solution for you. Wish you the best, Luan Faeandar wrote in message ws.com... Sorry for late reply, no news server for a while. I'm not a Netware admin either so I can't say for certain. I do know that the NWA's I worked with replicated all remote server data to a central server and backed that up. ~F On Tue, 02 Sep 2003 06:38:31 GMT, "J&J" wrote: What did you use in Novel to do this? I'm not a netware admin, but my group is looking to do this in the near future. thanks Faeandar wrote in message .. . Umm, Netware will do this at the file system level. Forget about doing it in hardware or a vendor software suite unless you have money to burn. We did exactly what you are looking to do with nothing more than Netware and some disk, jbod in some cases. ~F On 14 Aug 2003 08:36:05 -0700, (richard rhodes) wrote: We have some very large Netware servers at several remote sites. I am looking for a way to create a remote copy/mirror/replica of these servers at a central site. The idea would be that the central site would provide fast access to the user files if the primary server dies or is hit by a disaster, and, that backups could run against the copy/mirror/replica. The issues: - These are remote sites with good/excellant network connectivity back to the central site, but not anywhere near enough to do a sync mirror. - While the servers are big (some at 200-300gb), the actual write rate is low - less than 1-2% per day. - The servers contain all kinds of "stuff" - lots of little files. - The copy/mirror/replica can be as much as 24hr behind the primary - basically the same recoverability as once a day backups. - Currently all the Netware servers run on direct attach drives (scsi), but we will be moving them to a SAN based disk subsystem in the near future. What kind of disk system has not been determined yet. I guess what I'm looking for is a disk subsystem that could do async mirroring, or, a software solution that can do file replication. I know of software solutions for Windows servers to do this kind of task, but this is Netware. Any thoughts/comments would be appriciated!! Richard Rhodes |
