XenServer Backup and Restore

[To-M]

Currently the Backup function w/ DSS V6 is only with NAS Volumes, though the Snapshot will work for NAS, iSCSI and FC Volumes as well but we dont have a backup feature for the iSCSI volumes.

Based on the setup above could you setup another DSS offsite and do replication to it at night, so we have a backup location? We would have a IPSEC tunnel between both locations setup by the routers.

Thanks

Yes, WAN replication can work.

Is there a way to do this with iSCSI? Can you point me to a document on how to set it up? The one I saw is for NAS.

Thanks

Replicating a iSCSI Volume, or NAS Volume... its the same.

I don't think there's an howto documentation about ASYNC replication (nightly) of a VOLUME (iSCSI) over a WAN.

There are docs for synchronuous replication of volumes over LAN.

Then "Open-E Replications".

DSSV6 no longer does ASYNC replication. this feature has been removed for the moment.
Setting up Volume replication is the same for iSCSI and NAS volumes though.

Do you expect to have this turned back on in future releases?

Thanks
