hello what i'm thinking about is: keep it simple
1. i'm really happy to throw away all sort of tapes. when you need them, they are not working, are to slow ore capacity is too small. use hd*s instead. they are much faster, bigger, cheaper and data are much safer on it. for example a external 2gb hdd (usb or better e-sata) is about 100 euro. buy three of them, copy/sync your files to them, export the drive and keep it on a other location. use zfs-send, rsync or do it within windows with robocopy to keep files in sync. 2. move your esxi storage from local to your zfs storage to have zfs-snapshot and dedup feature. i would prefer nfs over iscsi to have parallel access via cifs. use a second storage box (or not recomended/ slow use local esxi space) for redundancy of your vhd files. gea napp-it.org / zfs server -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
