Supported configurations
Storage Mirroring Recover is an exceptionally flexible product that can be used in a wide
variety of network configurations. To implement Storage Mirroring Recover effectively, it
is important to understand the possible configuration options and their relative benefits.
Storage Mirroring Recover configuration options can be used independently or in
varying combinations.
One-to-one, active/standby
Description
One target server, having no production activity, is dedicated to
support one source server. The source is the only server actively
replicating data.
Applications
●
This configuration is appropriate for offsite disaster recovery,
failover, and critical data backup. This is especially appropriate
for critical application servers such as Exchange, SQL Server,
and web servers.
●
This is the easiest configuration to implement, support, and
maintain.
Considerations
●
This configuration requires the highest hardware cost because
a target server is required for every source server.
●
You must pause the target when backing up database files on
the target.
