Many-to-one
Description
Many source servers are protected by one target server.
Applications
This configuration is appropriate for offsite disaster recovery. This is also
an excellent choice for providing centralized tape backup because it
spreads the cost of one target server among many source servers.
Considerations
l
The target server must be carefully managed. It must have enough disk
space and RAM to support replication from all of the source systems.
The target must be able to accommodate traffic from all of the servers
simultaneously.
l
If using failover, scripts must be coordinated to ensure that, in the event
that the target server stands in for a failed server, applications will not
conflict.
l
You must pause the target when backing up database files on the
target.
