    SnapMirror, yes. The target volume of a SnapMirror operation is always
    read-only. If you make it read-write, another Level 0 dump is required.

    SnapMirror, no. NDMPcopy, maybe... I never tried.

    > Can I mirror more than one site with SnapMirror?

    Yes, easily.

    > Cascaded distribution?

    SnapMirror, no. NDMPcopy, maybe.

    SnapMirror is a commercial product, contact your sales rep for more info.

    Hope that helps.
