NetBSD's Real-Time Network Backup

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the old-hardware-power dept.

    How does this compare with Linux Network Block Device? Sounds very similar.

    There are pretty mature commercial tools for this stuff, as well - Veritas' VVR replication comes to mind.

    As of Windows 2003 R2, there is a capability to do a VSS type of thing over the network to a remote server.

    I'm a little ashamed that I know that, but it's true.
