Hi Folks
Hope someone can advise on a question I have.
We currently have use snapmirror and snapvault to replication and perform backups of our main production filer to over to our DR site over a dedicated 100mb point to point link.
We also use VSC 4.2.1 and I also setup some backup jobs to be performed from here as well, these perform a snapmirror update as well.
The problem I am seeing is both our snapmirror and vault jobs have long lag times, snapmirrors are running every 2 hours on our volumes and we perform snapvaults once a day. plus we also run a VSC job on top of this.
Also our point to point link is saturated most of the time with these delta changes being sent to our destination filer.
To see if I can reduce down the number of large updates going across, I am tempted to stop our VSC backup and just rely on the built in SAN tools like snapmirror and snapvault for backup and replication but before I do this would I lose any benefits by not using VSC?
Many Thanks
