El_Pablo Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi, Is there any application that can do real time file mirroring for filemaker? The problem with most applications is with large files (5 Gb+). They copy the whole file instead of just the modified bytes. Thanks for any help!

Steven H. Blackwell Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 You could be headed for trouble here. Not 100% certain, but live mirroring of FMP files might not be such a good idea. Take a look at the Critical Backups Case Study from Linear Blue to see how they addressed this same type issue. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigman Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 an alternative would be to try a RAID mirror. Either a hardware or software RAID would do it. Has anyone tried this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Pablo Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Actually, the disk on the server is a mirror hd. The problem is we had an hd failure and before we notice that the problem was an hd, it took a few hours. Right now, I'm testing with mirrorfolder which copy the fp7 files to a server in raid-1 style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Software RAID [color:red]should notbe used with FileMaker Server. It can interfere with I/O. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
