Can we set up DR site using Proxmox - Need help/suggestions

[blason16]

Hi Folks,

I am planning to virtualize the servers at my primary data center. They are all windows based systems, then I am thinking of setting up DR using another instance proxmox at my other data center. I am just wondering if complete DR can be built using Proxmox or do I need to go for commercial product like Vmware SRM which we dont have a budget at this moment.

Suggestions/advice are welcome. Do let me know if anyone has already planned or deployed a DR with proxmox?

The server that I will be virtualizing at primary site are as below

1] Mail Server Linux based
2] Home grown application server based on Windows and .Net
3] Another instance of application server again based on Windows 2008 with mssql installed on same server and front end developed in .Net

Proxmox has the most simple (and best) backup/restore functionality that I have ever seen in any virtualization system.

Maybe you can use this as a starting point: http://www.nedproductions.biz/wiki/...uster-running-over-an-openvpn-intranet-part-3

If you have large VMs and/or CTs, then DRBD might not be optimal for you. Maybe you can try hotcopy + rsync.
