Guest DW Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, 5 users I am running a SCSI RAID system with internal 15k U320 hard drives. I recently added an eSata RAID box with mirrored hard drives. At the end of each day, I manually copy the SCSI data to the eSata system. However, I would prefer to have the SCSI data continuously copied to the eSata system Does Windows 2003 have that capability? If not, can anyone suggest a reliable 3rd party software package that will accomplish my objective, hopefully without taking a performance hit?

Guest Anthony Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Re: Automated backup/mirroring If you really mean "continuously" as distinct from "periodically" then you need something that is watching the file system for changes. Volume shadow copy does that on a server, but across different servers you need a replication product like DFSR, or Replication Exec. Of course, if you make an error you can't restore from backup unless you have made periodic snapshots as well, Anthony, http://www.airdesk.com "DW" <dwess@wess.com> wrote in message news:Orc1xREOIHA.292@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, 5 users > > I am running a SCSI RAID system with internal 15k U320 hard drives.
