I have transferred DSSU images across WAN.

You have to go into the DB (NB 5.X) and change the image characteristics.

After that, you can restore away.  The force restore does not work for DSU
or DSSU images.

As a test only (we never used this in production) I was able to FTP
individual DSU images across the WAN to our DR site.  Unfortunately, once
they got there I had to run a script to import them which took forever.  If
I had to do it again, I might try and use UNCs so the import isn't
necessary.  Something like... 

1) Write to DSU \\Backup\Share
2) FTP Catalog and Image to Remote Site
3) Try and read back from \\Backup\Share (different local DSU called the
same thing.)

I've had success with FTPing the catalog and reading back from media, and
I've had success FTPing DSU images, but I haven't had time to test both.

Is it possible using multiple master servers (vaulting?) to make a secondary
backup in an alternate location?

Example: Assume you do cross-site backups between 2 sites.

siteA -> backup to -> siteB (has its own master) siteB -> backup to -> siteA
(has its own master)

If you have another site, call it siteC, can you do this with vaulting/or
some other way?

siteA -> backup to -> siteB (and also/or later copy to) -> siteC siteB
-> backup to -> siteA (and also/or later copy to) -> siteC

Keep in mind siteA,B,C each have their own master server.

What would be the best way to accomplish this?  This would solve the problem
of a dual site failure.

Justin.
