For me it is a BCV (Business Continous Volume) regardless of what the
disk vendor calls their mirror/snapshot function, the first name from
Compaq sticks in my head.

@Kate thanks, I will give that a throughout read also.

@Jeff, don't think we will need to buy San Copy as it is for between
disk systems after what I'm told
