iSCSI LUN replication

[finky]

Hi everybody,

we use different qnap models to provide iSCSI disks.
i was looking for a possibility to replicate these iSCSI Luns to another qnap, for disaster switchover.

since backing up and transfering takes too much time - i am still searching. for now we chose a external backup solution on the iSCSI-Clientside but a direct storage-2-storage solution is the target.
has anybody else found a good storage based solution?

i noticed that there is an interessting new feature announced in QTS 4.2 named "snapshot replica".
as this option is very important for us as a reseller i would like to test it. is there any possibility to get a beta-version of this?
when will QTS 4.2 be available? i heard something about "during 2015".

further information is very appreciated because it may have direct affect to order decisions.

best regards

Hi,
I have exactly the same question. We use a 6TB TS-659 Pro II on iSCSI to give diskspace on Windows 2008 Server and we need activate a disaster switchover strategy using a second identical TS-659.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.
