DDBoost and Replication
Dear Experts!
Our customer want to set up the following DD os replication:
- Source: DD with DD Boost license
- Target: DD without DD Boost license
He want to test the MFR and Mtree replication.The following
questions are arise during this setup:
- Without boost license the the MFR replication is possible?
- Without boost license the the Mtree replication is possible?
- If he doesnt use MFR option is it possbile to get the same files on the target side?

- Without boost license the MFR replication is possible? no. MFR is a function of boost and the backup application. both boost and replication licenses needed. - Without boost license the Mtree replication is possible? yes if you have replicator license - If does not use MFR option is it possible to get the same files on the target side? if does not use MFR the only option is MTREE replication. the difference between the two is with MFR the backup application is aware of the copy and can control it, with MTREE is not cheers, -e

no, yes, not really
regardless of replication method will also need replicator license. MFR (file managed replication) is controlled by the backup application and requires boost for backing up to DD and optimized replication between DD. outside of DD replication can always copy the files via nfs/cifs to somewhere else (though this option will transfer all data in re-hydrated form and not just changed blocks -- so this will not be efficient or practical)
cheers,
