You aren't really thinking of using Norton GHOST for doing this are you? I hope this is a generic kind of question ...
For large storage environments ( data warehouse database ) replication many companies use storage based replication solutions. This is typically something like EMC SRDF (symmetrix), or EMC Mirrorview (clarion) ... I think most all the storage vendors Sun, HP, Netapp etc have a similar product that does replication from a storage based solution.
You can also use Oracle's Data Guard based solutions or RMAN to clone a database.
In general though for large database systems I think many companies still lean toward storage based replication. Received on Fri Apr 11 2008 - 08:30:15 CDT
