That sounds good! I sadly DON'T have a DR plan of sort, but I have a process
where the Catalog tapes and ones to disk are replicated around a site - so
in the event of the Master going pear-shaped (and assuming the robot is all
ok!!), restore via bprecover same drive config / MP, ect and that has
worked.
But it would be nice to have another site solution similar to Paul, but
adapting this to make the process to moving over as painless as possible,
with minimal fuss.
Thanks

I've done something similar which is adopted as a DR method by the customer.
Its perhaps not as fancy as below but carries the same important feature.
The master server at DR site is the same hostname as the Production site.
This was critical in getting the DR process to work.
All i do is backup to disk each day the catalouges of Prod site ( also to
tape ) and rsync them over to DR site backup server. The DR site backup
server has its own catalogue for backing the DR site up during normal
operation but in DR scenario i backup the DR catalogus (bpbackup -dpath etc
) and then recover the rsynced ones from production site (
bprecover) now my DR site knows about all the tapes used at production site
( where i also have an ITC and tapes sent offsite ) and so i can restore
from production machines onto DR machines.
Works a charm
