Well, that all depends on how many changed blocks you expect in a day, as well as what kind of link you have, how busy the link is currently, what exact model of PIX or Sonicwall you have, and what the operating hours of the business are.
we're tri-continental. :)
Snapmirror does include a throttle, but if you throttle it too much, you'll be perpetually behind. And if you don't throttle it enough, it's about the same as not having one. It might be possible to do your snapmirror overnight, if it's acceptable to your client, and not throttle it at all. There are really a lot of options here.
yes, indeed. we don't have an "overnight," but from the one data point i just received in response, it looks like we *might* not have trouble. we need to learn more about what we have here.
i am concerned about snaps overlapping, of course, and received the pointer from adam fox that some folks use an admin host to monitor and control the firing of snap mirrors in order to prevent the problem.
