> Hi all, just joined the list after spending the morning digging through
> the archives. As I see many have asked about in the past, I am working on
> our DR plan and upcoming DR test in December.
> First, let me describe our setup.
> 
> Location A - Production
> We have a Sun 420R running Netbackup Datacenter 3.4. The server is a
> master / media server with a STK L180 attached. We run backups daily and
> use the Veritas bpvalut product. Via vault, we send backups, including a
> copy of our NBDB catalog, off site daily. 
> 
> Location B - Dev and Disaster Recovery
> We have a Sun 420R running as a NB media servers only. It has a STK L40
> attached. We do not currently use vault for any of the tapes from this
> robot. 
> 
> Here is what I want to figure out how to do. If our production facility
> (Location A) burns to the ground, what is the best way to get NB working
> again at our DR facility (Location B). The two sites are in different
> geographic locations so bandwidth between them is limited to a T1.
> 
> I know I'll need to use my off site tapes to restore first the NBDB
> catalog then other data as needed. My real question is what is the best
> way to get the catalog back since I don't currently have a master server
> at Location B. I spoke with Veritas and they said reinstall the NB master
> server from CD, then import / restore the catalog and go from there. I'm
> really looking for a quicker, more elegant solution. Is there any way to
> utilize my existing media server without completely rebuilding it? If I
> must rebuild the master server, network become an issue as the ip block
> and domain are different for each site. Thoughts on that if it comes down
> to a master rebuild?  Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
