The virtual thing is all great, but what about backing up .img files and more importantly thin disk allocations? is there any development on backing up snapshots to a unc path? or replicating *.ibv and *.ibvd data to unc or alternative paths?

Hello,

is there any news on this? we are running thin prov disks are still looking for a backup solution for running drives?

Chris

That does sound great, but when creating a new snapshot/disk and you choose the journal location, you are only allowed to use local devices and not network based file storage. Or I am totally missing the point? The snapshot/journal is no good as a backup solution if the data is held on the same devi...

Hi ed, Gave up in the end, remote replication or cdp is not what I want. I simply want to make a full backup of an iscsi target. Replication helps, but is not the way I want to move the data. As this is not live data we use iscsi for backups only. So any content will be written overnight to the iscs...

We are on the old license agreement of 2 mirror's and we never used it due to slow performance (This was our fault not the product), we do not have a ha license. Unless you can convert our current license agreement?

Got the answer myself, I need to stop then service and then copy the files. Will try and get a batch file sorted for this one.

Once the service is stopped, will it be safe to copy the content?

Is it safe to copy live files across the network i.e .ibv, .ibvm, .ibvd across the network using something like robocopy? or would I need to stop starwind. These are not live files in the sense of using reading/writing at the time of backup.

I hope that makes sense.

Cannot wait, am looking forward to the new version and services.

Hi Anton

Is there any timeline for the the mirror version will be replaced with HA? The reason I ask is that we have only just paid for the mirrored edition.

Primary Cache: 2048

Secondary Cache: 2048

Secondary Cache Target: 2048

Tried to set it to replication and when I check the settings after the mirror is created it always says Normal (No Caching)!!!

ATTO test

Mirror Enabled No Mirror Enabled

Modes? I just created the mirror as stated somewhere in the forum and they are linked by a 1GBE vlan in async config. First Mirror: write thru 2048mb cache Second Mirror: normal no cache (have tried so many times to turn caching on at this point). When the mirror was created is was created with the ...

Feel quite foolish, we bought the Mirror and Replication edition to do the following: Server - ISCSI Target Host - Replication ISCSI Target Host The replication was going to occur over 100mbs link to another campus. The problem we have is really poor write speed to the primary ISCSI Target, we have ...

Cheers it does work usign the starwind guide, is it safe to use with a ntfs volume, it is setup as async with cluster enabled. Do I need anything else?

Is it possible to employ MPIO via crossover cables? each starwind san has 4 1gbe ports and a single 10gbe. Each client also have 2 spare 1gbe ports available.

Cheers
