If 3PAR Remote Copy is set up for a database, 3PAR Recovery Manager’s remote synchronization utility (vcdba_rsync) can perform a periodic synchronization of database virtual volumes. Once the synchronization process completes, a virtual copy is created automatically for the remote virtual volumes on the secondary InServ Storage Server. The virtual copy can then be mounted on a backup host for off-host processing purposes.
