Gold Copy is not so much a technical term as it is a concept. We use the name in our environment to differentiate the clones of the R2 devices that are taken to enhance our DR recoverability. For us the Gold Copy is a point in time clone taken (usually every 24 hours) from the R2 so that if we can't bring the DR environment up from the R2 devices for any reason we can still drop back to the Gold Copy for recovery.  That being said, it is a clone just like any other. We create the clone with the pre-copy and differential flags set so that it can be taken from an SRDF/A R2 device and we can update it incrementally instead of taking a complete new clone every time.  As for taking multiple clones... yes you can definitely do that. If I remember correctly you can have up to 8 differential clone sessions associated with a single source at one time, and I believe this can be increased to 16 if you get the solution qualified by EMC. We have only ever used two simultaneous clones from a single R2 source, but that works just fine.  I would suggest you have a close look at the Solutions Enabler TimeFinder Product Guide documentation for more details around the rules and states that govern using Timfinder/Clone with an SRDF/A R2 as the source. Yes there are lots of rules, but it can be done effectively. And it sounds like it might be exactly what you need.
Good day,  I have a simple question. I searched the forums and supports but no luck to a simple question.  so here you go,  does DMX-4 Support having  SRDF (Async mode)  one source device (production)                 - on DMX4 two target devices (DR & Development)     - on DMX4 as well  thank you
SRDF - two targets
