Depending on the type of array you may consider to use an array-to-array replication solution.

Hi,

If you agree to replicate on file system level, rsync may be your choice, otherwise you have to use a HW-related SW. Rsync has a very smart algorythm, which significantly minimizes throuput.

If it's lots of data and something serious then
you could look at array 2 array: BC(hp), flashcopy(ibm), etc.

And if its filesystem, rsync is my faovurite, buy I have attached a file that gives tips on several tools you can use

Narendra,
Personally I use Business Copy. Although it is a bit array specific, it does work rather well. Just my opinion. I have used Rsync as well, very good tool.
