<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi all.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Has anyone got any ideas on the best / quickest way to replicate large volumes of data between servers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We currently have 2 NAS boxes and would like to replicate 1 to the other. The underlying technology for the sync is rsync and I dont think this is really going to handle the volume of data.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have just done a count up on one of the larger shares and it is currently around 13TB with 1.5 million folders and around 100 million files.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have toyed with building some large Windows file servers and using DFSR but I dont think this would handle it either.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyone got any ideas on software / hardware that might help? I would estimate the total required storage at primary to be around 50TB so a guestimate would put that at around 350 million files.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The data needs to be available to Windows machines.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>
<div><br>
