Hello.

I have two DataDomain 7200 units, one in Nashville, and one in Dallas. Is there a preference of one cloning method over the other?

Option 1) Set up cloning using the cloning properties within the Group settings, by selecting the "clones" checkbox, and giving it a destination.

Option 2) Set up a stand-alone scheduled clone of the data.

The data I'm cloning would be like SQL, NDMP, fileshares, Exchange, etc.

I can see benefits either way, but Im sort of leaning toward scheduled cloning. Has anyone noticed better performance using one method over the other?
