Symantec Backup Solution

Hi Craig,

Thanks for your reply;

The second SAN is in a remote site;

Do we have to check the latency between both the SAN?

If latency is low, can a deduplication option be given to help faster backup?

It could, yes. You'd be looking at optimised dedupe...you'd still need the ESO license for this. Check the links below for more information:

Thanks!

For optimised duplication, only the changed data blocks are transmitted across the wire, minimising the bandwidth requirement and unlike normal duplication, there is an option to throttle the bandwidth requirement.
