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? Martin J.
