I do my duplications for disaster recovery purposes.  If the local site is
destroyed somehow, the hope is the offsite tapes are enough to recover the
business.

I don't send the entire set of backups offsite - just selected systems. Our
database, our development servers, & our source control server (PVCS) all go
offsite.  Theoretically, since all our released code is in PVCS and our
in-progress development is in the devel images, then we could recreate -
with difficulty - our entire setup.

Hi Folks !
I would like to hear about the duplication policies you have configured. I 
am setting up a Netbackup system in a mid-range environment(3.5TB full 
backup). What I have found is that the duplication process is really a 
overhead. I would rather eject my original tapes and send em offsite. I 
really need to know whether it is feasible to duplicate. I am not sure how 
huge enterprise does the duplication(where in they often run out of resource

for backup at first place).

Thanks for you input,
- Karun
