Re: [Nolug] OT: Windows Data replication Software

The bandwidth throttling works remarkably well, and they also have a linux version. All servers can be managed remotely through a single tcp port. They also have a "data rewind" feature to roll back synched garbage. If the master server breaks, so will the DR site, so it is important to have the ability to go back in time. However, none of these solutions replace backup and data archive solutions, IMHO.

I am going to second to recommendation of WANsync as a possible
solution, albeit a VERY pricey one (~ $3000). We use it to keep data
synchronized for a major law that is currently handling billions in
flood claims. The software works VERY well. Supposedly, you can also
limit its bandwidth so that it doesn't saturate the pipe if you have it
setup to run constantly (synchronizing on the fly).
