I'm curious and in need of some input.  We implemented our Veritas backup 
solution back in October and we've had no problems at all.  My concern is my DR 
plans.  We do weekly full backups every Friday night and cumulative backups 
every other night.  We do montly's on the last day of each month.  I am using 
vault's in-line copy and I send that second copy offsite; diffs go offsite for 
a week, weekly's go off site for a month, and monthly's go offsite for a year.  
I have 2 catalog tapes in my vault, but they never go offsite.  In the event I 
have a true disaster, I have my tapes that I can bring back on site, but 
without my catalog tape, I'll have problems right?  So what is the best 
practice for catalog tapes being rotated out of the library?

Thanks
