Could anyone answer any of the following questions:

 

SQL Questions

I have 2 SQL Servers that replicate with each other using SQL Replication. One of the servers (Server1) Is a remote server at a Site and the other (Server 2) is based in a DataCenter and is connected to a FAS. If I would use SnapManager for SQL and restore a snapshot of the SQL Database what would happen to my SQL Synchronisation.

 

Firewall Questions

I also have 2 SQL servers in the DMZ, What do I need to do to the our firewall to allow these 2 servers to connect to the FAS, What are my possibilities, Is it a high security risk

 

Snapshots

How do I configure snapshots to act like a GFS rotation, Daily, weekly and Monthly

 

Windows Question

Is there a limit on how many Tape Devices I can connect to Windows Server without affecting backup performance, someone once told me that is recommended that only 4 drives should be connected.

 

All help greatly appreciated
