Hi Mark,
Just ideas, I haven't tried this, but ...
How about defining your default DB backup to be on virtual volumes at the
offsite location.
Run a full backup at a convenient time when there's not much activity, and then
daily incrementals.
Run a db snapshot daily to local media.
Alternatively,
Run db backup or snapshot to local disk, then compress - gzip compresses db
backups about 10 to 1, then move offsite by ftp or whatever

Hello everyone. We are in the position to possibly have a T-1 between our
offices and our hot site and the question has come up how to utilize the T-1
to make disaster recovery quicker. The easy answer is to backup the database
to the hot site but the size of our database ~~24gb makes that impractible.
I was wondering if anyone else out there has a similar setup and how they
are using it. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
