Hi all,

We have a huge production database that is currently 2TB and expected to
grow to 3TB soon. We have the corresponding test database that is only a
third of its size and was refreshed a while ago. I would like to see
refreshed data so we can test things more accurately in test DB.* *I am
pressing for more space and better refresh methods, but I want to come up
with some suggestions. Can you please share your opinions on this. Thanks.

Some things I can think of: We have to consider the network bandwidth
between the two servers, the space, the activity in the test DB. Is there
anything else.

Ram.
