Re: snapshot

We're using AppSync on XtremIO.

When it works, it does the job, when it breaks, it's all your worst Halloween's rolled into one.

It's pretty bizarre using a product that runs moderately unreliably using a Postgres database on Windows to control snapshots of production on Linux based storage for Linux databases. I had to write a bunch of scripts to correct for AppSync's lack of understanding of how to build a clone of an Oracle database... Not exactly a recommendation then, though I believe in license terms the cost is a tiny fraction of the Oracle equivalent in 12c.

We have of the order of 80 clones of a significant production database using surprisingly little real storage, and performance is OK.
