Thanks Ed …
I plan to read the guide and get the right
information before proceeding with anything.
Just wanted to get a quick idea of what
can be done or any benefits people have received
from using these in their environments and
how.
Thanks for the answer

when using Veritas Volume Replicator do you have to use the same Operating
System flavor?
Meaning
.. I assume you cannot have a Windows Master Server ( Production )and a Linux
Master Server ( QC Master )
replicating
the catalog.
Even if VVR would let you replicate it, it would not do you any good.
With VVR, you're doing block-based replication and Windows can't mount any of
the popular Linux file systems and Linux can't do much with an NTFS
volume. The files are also physically different so even if you copied a
catalog from a Windows system to any Unix system, you can't directly use it.
Can anyone share some of their experience using these
tools?
I
am just becoming familiar with these and maybe using both in the next few
months.
It sounds like you're trying to force the tools to the solution rather
than focusing on your requirements.
I strongly suggest you read the HA Guide for NetBackup. It's on the
NetBackup support site.
