crazy question - but before i go down this path and test - anyone attempt using vertical backup within a local environment (fast connections and storage) and then syncing that local destination with an offsite via rsync? I like the idea of vertical backup with the way it works/deduplication/scripts/alerts/snapshots - but even with very fast internet connections I find the comparison to be too slow for what I am looking for. rsync seems to handle offsite replication quite well but of course I wouldn’t want to use that on a straight vmdk file, but it wold seemingly work fine and fast on the vertical destination/chunks etc.
anyone try this out? any ideas pro or con against this that I am missing? feel free to tell me that this is a bad idea and just to keep with vertical as well…
thanks!
