DR Failover licenses have alwayd been available for networker, you just
need to request the "DR failover" auth codes from EMC Licensing, just
need to supply the DR NSR server name and hostid.
Given that it is the DR site, you could always just have it running in a
warm state...i.e. DR name, IP etc....have the fully /nsr directory
copied across every so often, daily or weekly... Then in true DR style,
when prod is lost/down, change the DR nsr servers name, IP address
etc...move the latest copied "prod nsr" into the correct place and start
up networker...
Devices etc will need work, but the client and media indexes will all be
available.
Not perfect, and there are other issues to be dealt with also, but then
for replication for DR purposes as per what your mentioning i would be
looking at avamar instead.

Subject: [Networker] Networker + Data Domain Replication = DR Solution
??
We are considering a similar solution so I will be interested in how
this will work. I thought we would backup our bootstrap and indexes to
the appliance and then replicate them across. Then we would rebuild
networker and run MMRECOV against the bootstrap and indexes on DR side.

Data Domain adv_file devices. That works great...but here's the
trickier part I need help with. We have the Data Domain device
replicating the backed up device data to a Data Domain offsite. Now I
need to figure out a way to make a restore seemless. I have been unable
to do that. You have to copy over indexes and scan in the device. LONG
PROCESS. They want a process that allows up to automatically run
restores on the systems in the DR site with the replicated Networker
data at the DR site. Any ideas? I'm open to anything. Networker has
been a struggle to figure out without adding additional licenses - looks
like we may have to. Does anyone out there use Networker for their
complete DR solution? Any information is greatly appreciated.
