Hi guys,
Does anyone recommend anything for this?
I have been looking at Double-take and Xosoft. Xosoft doesn't support SBS so that got thrown out. Double-take looks extremely good except that there is no fail back (you have to fail forward again) - bit of a pain in WAN scenarios. Is there anything out there that give me automatic failover and allows me to fail back without rebuilding the operating system?
Cheers

Hi Ivan,
Often wondered this myself as SBS cannot be clustered. Acronis do a snapshop job which can be dunmped onto a spare HD and then reloaded onto a new box if needs be. Also they offer an OS rebuild in minutes feature with their product. Never tried it. Other than snap shots either with Acronis, Storagecraft or Symantic stuff I don't know what else other people use.I find most SBS customers don't want to pay for these kind of services but as their data gets bigger who knows.
John. |

Hi,
It's all about how much downtime they can afford!
I was wrong about Xosoft - it is the High Availabilty versions that are not SBS compatible - in any case it is not SBS priced. We might see such a full redundancy product with SBS 2008 given the migration possibilities.
I like the idea of having the backup in a virtual machine on some secondary server. I think that the only possibility is something like DoubleTake but fail back is bit of a pain.
