Hi honmapog,
The work around you suggested does seem to work, as I've just tested it. It is missing a vital piece of functionality though - the ability to create a snapshot Retention Policy such as in Backup Exec CPS console. This is quite important (sorry I should have mentioned this in the first post) because we can then keep snapshots of various ages - weekly, monthly, etc - rather than simply losing the oldest snapshot.
Would there be any other way of providing this functionality intact?
DFS-R seemed like a good bet because it does byte-level changes with throttle-able bandwidth. Great for remote backup systems like this, where we've only got 1.5mbps bandwidth.
Cheers

I'm pretty sure the snapshots will not be replicated.
I can imagine that a possible workaround would be to use the shadow copy functionality on the target server to create snapshots from the replicated data on the target server.
