I guess I don't see the difference. If logical corruption (rm -r * in the filepool or tsm screws up and deletes vols), the copy pool could be just as corrupt as the main pool. if the copy pool is in the same dd, then a dd failure would trash both anyway and you're in a DR situation. The snapshot is only over the local dd, so we cut snapshots on both dd's at the same time.

So unless you noticed it before your last snapshot expired, you be stuck. Obvoliusly a simple solution would be to have a copy stpool on exactly the same DD - inefficient copying wize, but it would dedupe down to nothing. ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
