Unless your Novell fileservers are physically separated by large distances
(e.g. different cities) or you are planning an extremely heavy transaction
load on your databases, I think you will find that running snapshots on
multiple servers will:
- Cost much more.
- Be much more difficult to administer.
- Not improve performance significantly.
