Node replication vs. copy stgpools...

Howdy. I'd be interested in hearing anyone who's done node replication discussing their experiences. I'm approaching the jump from v5 to v6, and am musing about my configuration to be. I'm currently doing virtual volume copy pools, which have protected me adequately, but replicating everything

I haven't done node replication yet. My opinion is that node replication and copy stgpools do different things. When I first saw node replication, I was thinking I could get rid of my copy stgpools (stored in a remotely attached tape library), but then I realized that it wasn't that simple. c

Allen, No, I'm sure you could put "-snapshotroot=xxx" in the options argument to the client scheduler. But your response made me realize that I left out one relevant point: We are backing up several NAS volumes via the scheduler, not just one. We use the pre- and post- scheduler exits to mou
