I'm working on a similar situation and have not found a solution with
Netbackup.  The problem seems to be that the host name of the master is
imbedded in the catalog so you cannot sync two catalogs.  I have heard
of surgical solutions to modify the catalog, but this is not a
"supported" operation.  Not exactly the situation you would want during
a disaster.  Does anyone know of a possible solution?  I could import
the tapes, but I would have 35 or 40 LTO tapes to import.

        Howdy All,

        =20

        We have a disaster recovery site that I just installed a

        smaller tape library and netbackup. The intended purpose

        is if our building here burns down, we can use off-site

        tapes to bring our environment back up.

        =20

        We have a 100mb link between the two sites. I was wondering

        is there anyway to sync the catalogs between the two systems,

        so that the off-site knows about my in-house tapes and backups,

        and my in-house catalog knows about my off-site tapes and
backups.

        =20

        I don't want to have to worry about the last catalog backup if
something

        happens.

        =20

        Thanks...James
