Hi Maarten,

Thank you Marten for your response. Yes, at present rsync is doing doing 1st 
full and daily incrementals  to hub server filesystems. We configured those 
filesystems as hub server/client savesets.  Till now we are using only for DR 
purpose, but  if want to completely eliminate the BO jukeboxes even the regular 
restores should be done from HO server, and it is very difficult to trace the 
user's home server name,partition etc., 

each restore become 2 step process, restore from hub server to hub server 
disks, and use rsync/rdist/ftp/scp mechanism to transfer the data from the 
restore location. Is there any software(replicator ?) provide both the above 
(rsync and ebs)functions and can allow mount point options?Operating 
systems(hub serevr and all Branch offices) arte on Solaris 9 environment.

With Regards,
Rag
