Messageyeah i have exactly this problem and came up with a solution but =
have not implemented it yet
Easiest way would be to have the host name of the 2 backups machines the =
same, but this isnt always possible and in my environment they are =
different across sites.
I backup my catalogs to disk each day using a script which utilises =
bpbackupdb -dpath
I then scp these over daily to my dr site
In even of dr you would need to follow these steps :-
tar dr backup server /usr/openv somewhere
uninstall netbackup
rename machine to production site
reinstall netbackup=20
then bprecover -dpath the catlogs from production site
This would then let you restore to your dr clients. You may would need =
to add the dr clients also.
To try and cut down on some of this i have thought about doing some =
prelim work
mv /usr/openv /usr/openv.dr
rename machine to production site
install netbackup ( so configured with production name )
mv /usr/openv /usr/openv.production
rename machine back to dr site=20
mv /usr/openv.dr /usr/openv
Then in even of dr , you should just need to mv /usr/openv /usr/openv.dr
rename machine to be production
mv /usr/openv.production /usr/openv
then do you bprecover on the db's you have scp'd over from production =
site daily.
I have not tested this method , but it should work

I'm working on a similar situation and have not found a solution with =
Netbackup. The problem seems to be that the host name of the master is =
imbedded in the catalog so you cannot sync two catalogs. I have heard =
of surgical solutions to modify the catalog, but this is not a =
"supported" operation. Not exactly the situation you would want during =
a disaster. Does anyone know of a possible solution? I could import =
the tapes, but I would have 35 or 40 LTO tapes to import.
Thanks,

Subject: [Veritas-bu] sync catalog
Howdy All,
We have a disaster recovery site that I just installed a
smaller tape library and netbackup. The intended purpose
is if our building here burns down, we can use off-site
tapes to bring our environment back up.
We have a 100mb link between the two sites. I was wondering
is there anyway to sync the catalogs between the two systems,
so that the off-site knows about my in-house tapes and backups,
and my in-house catalog knows about my off-site tapes and backups.
I don't want to have to worry about the last catalog backup if =
something
happens.
Thanks.James
James Wade
