DR Replication Software

[agiordanoLS]

What's your preferred software to use for DR replication? Any thoughts or feedback on Veeam and Double-Take?

[BruceMcMillan]

What about VMware SRM and an associated storage replication adapter?

[SamNAC]

We currently use Veeam in environment and recommend it for our customers as well. It is hands down the most cost effective solution. If you've ever used their free fastSCP software, the backup and replication software takes it to the next level and beyond. VMware's SRM is awesome as well, but requires hardware specific controllers for the backend SAN devices.

I will be out of the office and returning Tuesday the 22nd. I do have access to e-mail but I may be slower than normal in responding. If you require immediate technical assistance, please e-mail support at support@logicalsolutions.net. Thank you.

Hi

This might be a bit of a late response but hopefully you'll find this helpful

Veeam is an awesome product for backup and replication, and also much cheaper and easier to implement than SRM

Veeam Backup and Replication 5.0 is due for release soon, they are only waiting for a pending patent right on a new technology

Also they have joined forces with HyperIP to make WAN replication even faster with WAN acceleration and they also mention with these 2 technologies WAN vMotion will be seamless.

+1 for Veeam.

I've used both for full VM backups and for replication, it works pretty good and it's damn fast.
