      I dealt with something like this once, and I am trying to recall the finer details. It was a Unitrends installation, and the customer was archiving daily to a local Exablox device, which copied to a remote Exablox. I'm thinking that it wasn't replication in that case, but warm storage to cold storage. We even had a couple conference calls with support reps from Exablox and myself (representing Unitrends), to hammer out how both pieces would behave. I just wish I could clearly recall it all.

        What I need is both sites to work symmetrically with files locking on both sides when accessed from one. Bidirectional syncing.

          Sound more like you want a clustered file system, rather than a synchronized one.

            For curiosity sake, I'll be interested to know how you solve that.

              Yes, that would be ideal. But the bandwidth is going to make that a problem.

                @scottalanmiller Exablox replication does not provide global file locking across multiple locations. Our replication works on a per share basis so you can decide all, some, or a few shares (r/w) in the primary OneBlox Ring are replicated to shares (r/o) secondary OneBlox Ring.

                    @scottalanmiller with OneBlox remote replication, we are only replicating the deduped and compressed objects so it should be more efficient that 1GB/50Mb/s

                      Yes, this is a very common use case for Exablox. Hunger Task Force is currently doing this with Unitrends. https://www.exablox.com/whats-happening/press-releases/140422-hunger_task_force.php.

                      Works the same way with Veeam, Backup Exec, NetBackup, others....
