Disaster Recover Options

We beginning a new deployment of Networker at our site, to also include Avamar and Data Domain (total backup/recovery re-engineering).  The Networker servers will be Windows 2008 Server.  We would very interested to find out what different customers are using for Disaster Recovery/Continue to Run for Networker.  We have two sites, primary and DR with an extended campus solution, including extended ethernet segments between the two sites.  Our DMXs & CLARiiONs replicate synchronously between the two sites.  Avamar and Data Domain also replicate between the two sites.

To be a little more specific, what are the options for DR relative to just the Networker Server environment?  So, two LUNs required for Networker, those would be on DMX, replicated synchronously (SRDF) between sites.  So, now for the servers and Networker "system" itself.  Production server at primary site.  Lights out server at DR site.  Manual failover to R2's.  Is SRDF/CE an option?  Again, looking for options for Networker environment itself, not concerned with Avamar or DataDomain at this point.

When you say DR site, are you talking about active/passive sites or these are active/active?

We currently use active/active (without DD&Avamar, but that doesn't change the logic much).

The bottom line is, we SRDF data from our sites to remote site and this is our primary backup.  Since we have replicated data at that level we do not see any need for replication/cloning of backup as well.  We only duplicate financial data which we require to keep longer by law (low amount of data, perhaps 1-2GB per day) and NW metadata.

When you say you use active/active, could you elaborate a little bit more.  Thanks.

We use both sites as active sites for different application where second site is standby.  In this mix, both sites are active/active.  Actually, due to some applications like Oracle GeoRAC which spread across both sites, it is real active active site.

So, let's say you have site A and B.  On site A you run application X which has standby on B.  On site B you run application Y which has standby on A.  And so on for hundreds of databases...
