I need to backup multiple customers using Netbackup 3.4.1. I want to protect
each customer from seeing each others data as well as each others servers.

I have read that some people setup a VLAN using a couple different methods.
1 method was to configure the private network with a switch and router and
method 2 was to just configure a switch with VLAN and us ISL Trunking on the
media and master servers (Sun Microsystem Servers)

Veritas says that must of their customers that do shared tape backup just
puts everyone on 1 VLAN and that's it. To me this is not very secure. For
one each customer would be able to see other customers broadcast packets
thus creating  a situation where one customer can determine the IP of
another and perform a direct attack.

I am looking for pointer from the community that will help me make the right
choice for securing customers servers as well as their data.

Thanks

When I see the sea once more,
would the sea have seen or not seen me?
