[Info-vax] VMS to VMS data copy options/performance when losing a DECnet link

[Rich Jordan]

Customer has decided to turn off "legacy" DECnet support on their network.  They currently use DECnet for copies between two nonclustered integrity servers that are on different IP subnets/VLANs and have Cisco doing whatever magic it does to make DECnet appear local. THis is Phase IV, not DECnet over IP.

Is there any documentation on relative performance for bulk data transfer with preliminary data archiving (ie ZIP or backup to a local archive file so not transferring lots of individual files) on VMS using FTP/SFTP  versus using NFS as the transfer mechanism?  I know details matter and I don't have them yet but is one likely to be enough different that it is worth pursuing a test?  Which won't be trivial given equipment availability...

Thanks for any info
