Here is our Current environment. 
Location A
SunFire 480 running Netbackup Enterprise Server 5.1
mp3. The server is a master as well as media server
with a STK L700 and 20 FC LTO2 attached. Also have 6
Solaris meidaservers.

Location B
SunFire 480 running Netbackup Enterprise Server 5.1
mp3. The server is going to be a media server with a
STK L500 and 10 FC LTO2 attached. Also have 2 Solaris
meidaservers.Mainly use this site for Inline Tape Copy
and Disaster Recovery purpose.

Location A is up and running. Location B is going to
be implementing soon. Bandwidth between them is a
Fiber and DWDM .Right now in location A we are using
vault to duplicate a copy . Is anyone doing inline
tape copy to a remote location for second copy? We
purchased veritas volume replicator to replicate
catalog.

Questions 
1) How will veritas knows the location B media servers
and tape library are be part of the master server.
Which software will take care of this?

2)����Inline TAPE COPY can go to multiple
Storage Units BUT they must be on the SAME Media
Server.����� 
Can some one explain how to do this?

3) In general inline tape copy, how is the
performance? Will it slow up your original copy if the
second copy is going at a slower speed?

4) We will be replicating catalog between Site A to
Site B.In case of Disaster( Site A).Do we have keep
the spare server in site B to recover the catalog? In
case if we use any existing media server, How to avoid
master server name and IP address conflict?

Please Share your Knowledge!

Answer this questions.
