What is VFR

Veritas File Replicator (VFR) enables cost-effective periodic replication of data over IP networks, giving organizations an extremely flexibile storage independent data availability solution for disaster recovery and off-host processing. With flexibility of scheduling the replication intervals to match the business requirements, Veritas File Replicator tracks all updates to the File System and replicates these updates at the end of the configured time interval. VFR leverages data deduplication provided by Veritas File System (VxFS) to reduce the impact that replication can have on scarce network resources. VFR is included, by default, with Symantec Virtual Store 6.0 on Linux and is available as an option with Veritas Storage Foundation and associated products on Linux.
