I recently started peeking at SAN features including replication but I'm
wondering if a NAS devices can have this feature, too.I would love to buy a
couple inexpensive NAS devices and have them replicate changes between each
other for two offices.

Can you suggest a vendor for me?

Thanks,
-Bob

This feature will cost you more. While possible to do in
a Linux-based NAS, AFAIK nobody offers this. Undersnatdably,
beacuese it a) mokes the device operation a whole lot
more complicated. After all you would need something like
a distributed RAID or a clutser-filesystem with this feature.
In case of promlems, manuab intervenmtion may be needed,
hence it would create support cossts. And b) it is a feature
that can be sold as expensive "enterprise" feature.

Careful babblebot, that brainfarct will kill you.

Oh rats. Knock your self out, let it be over with.
I'll write you a nice obituary for Gisin to read at your funeral.

Thanks,. I'm off to check out Microsoft's DFS and see if it can work OK over
a WAN...

Well, if you can get the replication host based, that would solve
the issue. Sounds like the right approach to me.
