Smart watch leaders are apple and samsung.

Samsung isn't in the big three. Xiami is number one, Apple number two. Xiami is the largest wearables maker in the world. So big that they don't just make their own processors with their own fab, but they use their own architecture!

And they are sold everywhere but the US (or at least I've never seen that brand at any retail location I've been to)

They are definitely sold in the US. We buy them here (they are cheap and resilient.) I don't see them in stores too often, but like on Amazon and stuff they are just a normal item, not imported specially or anything. They are widely available. I like them for travelers because they are cheaper than average, but work well and have the best battery lives (often 1.5 months on a charge!) So you aren't likely to get it stolen, or have charging issues, and if they break just buy another.

Replication may occur as often as every minute, but you could still lose files or changes within that time span that were never copied to the target.

I think Veeam limits to every 15 minutes?

I don't know as we don't use Veeam replication. I know other solutions can go as often as every minute. But that is outside of this scope.

Some every 30 seconds.

DRBD does it in milliseconds, as fast as the platform can do it.

@StorageNinja said in Veeam with NetApp?:

Netapp E-Series is the same as the old Dell MD36xxx or the LSI enginio code base (IBM also sold a similar low-end modular array). These things were wicked fast/cost-effective at streaming workloads (got used for Lustre clusters a lot as the DAS on the nodes). Dell's abandoned reselling them for Seagate (Dothill) but they still around

Not wicked fast compared to building your own. And the staggering lack of internal support if anything goes wrong is a big deal... storage is one of those things you want to have work, especially at these price ranges. Having been a NetApp customer, I know that their support is helpless when it comes to trying to do high performance, their crap just falls over and so do their engineers.
