Good Morning
Well so far, so good - got a more stable NBU system - one SAN Media failed
its backup, but not bothered about that and its running fine now!
 
I wanted to try and cover some grounds with any NBU win2k3/NT/2000
environments, about how your NetBackup environment is configured and what
failover you have in place or DR plans.
 
I have been looking at BMR for NBU6, but I run 5.1 MP2 which has been
extremely stable for us (if you exclude the manual intervention of someone
destroying it!!!), and have not been fully convinced about going to 6 yet.
 
BMR works and integrates with 6, but from a DR point, I am not sure if this
is the right method to go down.
 
Looking at Symantec Live State recovery, which does not integrated with NBU,
but does seem to do the job (although expensive). Plus, it doesnt rely on
another system.
 
Does anyone have some thoughts on DR planning, or products they use? I guess
my main focus is to be able to recover a system OS as quickly as possible.
Data can then be recovered from tape.
 
I have also been told I cannot get any IDR licenses for 5.1 anymore, which
seems a bit odd to me !
 
Thanks

Regards
