Hi,<br />
<br />
Hopefully someone can help. I have a few questions that I'm unsure about regarding HP's Remote Snap option for the HP MSA P2000 G3.<br />
<br />
Is it possible to replicate one SAN to another on a different subnet, I assume yes?<br />
Does replication use block level differences (de-duplication), again I assume it would?<br />
Does the replication require the use of snapshots?<br />
<br />
And for Windows Server Backup does it backup the following okay?<br />
Exchange 2010<br />
SQL 2008<br />
<br />
Thanks

HP MSA P2000 G3 SAN - Remote Snap Replication

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.
