A simple Volume Replication Tool for large data set?
- by Jin
I'm looking for a solution to the following:
Server A (Site A)
 - Win 2008 R2
 - approx 10TB (15TB max) of data
 - well over 8 million files
Server B (Site B)
 - Win 2008 R2
I want to assynchronously replicate Server A's volume to a volume on Server B for data redundancy.  Something that I can say to my users, "go here for data" when/if Server A goes belly up due to machine problems, disaster, etc.
Windows 2008 R2 does have DFS, but microsoft does not apparently support this large of a dataset (or more accurately, more than 8 million files - according to the docs I could find).
I also looked at Veritas Volume Replication, but this seems almost too much as I would also require Veritas Volume Manager.  
There are numerous "back-up" software which makes a 1-1 backup, which would be ok, but since it will be transfering over internet, I'd like something that has compression during transfer like DFS has.  
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding this?
