Protection Manager,

Its got it quirks but once its setup its pretty decent for GUI/Wizard file restores.

I have a FlexVol on Filer1 and a second filer ("Filer2") at a remote site. Filer2 already has aggregates and volumes carved out on it, but does have an aggregate with quite a bit of free space.

I'd like to SnapVault my volume on Filer1 to Filer2 as well as create some snapshot retention schedules on both sides.

Curious what all of you out there see as your preferred way to set this up:

- CLI - System Manager - Management Console (Protection Manager) -- this is the thick client - Operations Manager (web interface -- formerly DFM?)

The Management Console route seems to possibly be the most elegant, but is also fairly confusing. And it seems like it wants to work with unprovisioned storage rather than storage which has already been carved up and is in active use.

Thanks, Ray _______________________________________________ Toasters mailing list Toasters@teaparty.net http://www.teaparty.net/mailman/listinfo/toasters
