Last week I posted a question asking for feedback on a proposed solution
from Systems Center for addressing disaster recovery concerns for
VM/Archive.  I got only 2 replies.  One response told me what they
were doing which is not an adequate for our shop's recovery requirements
and the other response basically said that Systems Center was goofy
to think people can implement what they suggested; he had worked in
two shops which both tried and failed at implementing the solution
proposed by Systems Center.  I thought System Center's solution sounded
pretty difficult to implement which is why I asked the question.

With so few replies I have to assume one of the following:

1) Nobody on this list in interested in this topic.  I find this hard
   to believe because most of the people on this list seem to take
   what they do too seriously to be apathetic.

2) Nobody is providing disaster recovery for VM/Archive.  Based on
   what is available with the product I would bet that many people
   have just given up on the possibility of recovering their
   VM/Archive data in a disaster.

Which one is it?  Doesn't anybody care or are the tools provided by
VM/Archive and the architecture of the product itself so limiting that
they just rule out disaster recovery?  I personally feel that Systems
Center is out of touch with this issue and need to realize that many
people have just given up on disaster recovery of VM/Archive.  If
people can't recover their data in a disaster they just can't afford
to use the product for production data.

Remember, don't archive anything you can't afford to loose!

Any Feedback?
