Hi, Frederic,

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do, but I think you want a
replica of your onsite data on an offsite *SM server, which has different
tape drives than the onsite *SM server?  And the network bandwidth is
insufficient to perform export/imports each day?

Is there no option of moving tapes between the sites?  My preference is to
move the data on tape by putting a single drive on one of the systems.  In
your case, the less expensive path would be to put a 3570 drive on your
onsite *SM server and export/import, or use a tapepool or copypool to move
the data.  The latter requires a database restore on the remote site each
day.  You certainly need to do this for the initial set of data to be moved.

You don't mention how much data changes each day, but I expect with the size
of your data that it will be too much to move over your 4Mbit link.
