Remote site replication

[Simon Greaves]

How long should it take to replicate a 38GB VM to a remote host across a 1MB SDSL VPN line.

I am just after approximate figures.

In total i need to replicate just under a TB of VM's from two hosts in local site to one host on remote site.

Ping times between the sites across the VPN are 30-40ms.

Thanks for your help

Simon, this depends a lot on the amount of white space on disks (white space is not transferred), and how compressable the VM disk content is (WAN traffic is compressed). For worst case scenario, you just divide size by speed and this will be good approximation.
