Sadat,
   You may consider an alternative configuration to protect your data.
   Look into using a NetApp FAS2020 at both sites with a snapmirror
relationship.  You could also put a TSM server and tape library at the
remote site to make a tape copy of mirrored data.  The nice thing of
using snapmirrors is that only changes are propagated, minimizing
bandwidth requirements between both sites.

Cheers.
