Re: [Nolug] OT: Windows Data replication Software

I have deployed WANSync at numerous sites as a DR autofailover system under windoze. It can handle sqeel (SQL) server and exchange database files in real time and works very well; however, it aint cheap. The autofailover feature is nifty but I prefer a manual switch to DR as it is cheaper and we know evacuations in advance. On linux I use rsync over a ssh tunnel fired by cron in the wee hours. It works well and costs nothing but billable hours, so the previously mentioned cygwin sounds cool. Hope this helps.

Subject: [Nolug] OT: Windows Data replication Software

I'm researching options for setting up a remote Windows 2003 Server for use
during a hurricane evacuation. I want something that will copy data from
the server on our LAN to the remote server (Dallas co-lo), as files are
changed. Or, if that's too expensive, every night, do a data sync.

Does anyone have any experience with these two data replication apps? If
yes, any feedback?:

Any other solution ideas? Maybe rsync for windows via SSH? Anyone set
anything like that up?

Thanks,
Simon
