site to site replication

[Milkwyrm]

Is there any work being done on cluster replication outside of using ZFS?
I have a mixed environment of hyper-v and Proxmox hosts/clusters that need to replicate to our DR site. The Hyper-v cluster was dead easy to set up for this purpose, Unfortunately our Proxmox hardware is really not suited to using ZFS and I need to find a way to get a standby replica running at DR. I could push backups out and restore them but this would involve moving a LOT of data over the vpn/wan links and would be out of date well before it could complete. Has anyone built out a similar solution?

Hi,

at the moment only ZFS to ZFS is supported.

You can do this with Ceph also (but manually, not inside proxmox). https://ceph.com/geen-categorie/incremental-snapshots-with-rbd/

If the HW is not made for ZFS, you can't use it for ceph either.

Thanks Guys. I figured that was the case, but I was asking about future enhancements that might move beyond this, to allow hardware stuck with RAID cards to also replicate. Like the situation I'm in, where I'd have a hard time justifying to the powers that be that I need to strip down and rebuild working servers with non hardware raid HBA's (additonal cost) in order to use Ceph or ZFS.
