The prospect has a single Fedora 13 server running email for 13 domains domains. These are his subsidiaries domain and is not a commercial hosting provider. The email load is not exceptionally high and is on the below average side.

Although his single server setup has been running stably for a few years, he now wants to take steps to prevent a single point of failure. He plans to build a separate site for DR for an active-passive DR/HA solution.

I'm planning a P2V solution. As a newbie to Acronis I'm not sure what I need..
The plan is to continuously backup the physical server to a virtual image at the remote DR location. If any thing goes wrong with the primary site, the DR site's image will take over.

Some questions:
1. Do I need RHEV in 2 locations?
2. Do I need ABR11 in 2 locations?
3. Do I need an extra server in each location, running RHEL/RHEV and ABR11?

Hello Wai-Sun Chia,

Welcome to our Forum, we're glad to greet you here. I understand your concern, and will be glad to address your question.

According to the description provided, your Customer needs a replication. Unfortunately we don't offer solutions for replication, only for a disaster recovery. It means that you can schedule automatic backup on a daily basis, but you will have to perform recovery manually.

What your Client really needs is a replication, which can be done by using rsync. It's a software application and network protocol for Unix-like and Windows systems that synchronizes files and directories from one location to another, and will suit the described scenario better.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you.
