Re: DR question

In a true replication environment if I accidentally deleted that file from
the closer server it would automatically get deleted from the further
server.
There's pros and cons.

Perhaps they do not have replication between the two.  Doesn't mean that
they won't aid you in a DR situation.  For example BRMS spools up a nice
report on how to recover our system from scratch.  All the way on how to
IPL from tape, which volumes I need, etc.  Really good.  Every day I
transfer that spool file as a PDF to two Windows servers in two different
time zones and vastly different latitudes.  If the server 17 miles away is

clobbered by the same tornado then I can get it from our friends south of
the border.

This sounds dumb to me, but I thought I would ask people far more in the
know.

I am to send multiple files to TWO servers.  One is their DR serv4er.

From what I can tell, they are using just Windows.  So, is it stupid

that I have to send data to both?  They claim it is for DR, but this
sounds like (again, to me) like they really don't have a true DR
environment.

It isn't a big hassle.  Just seems wrong to me.  And, I am seeking
enlightenment from the gurus.
