Hi Jan
I wouldn't like to import tapes for DR - as you say it would take far=20
too long.
Most sites have the same NetBackup version at primary and DR, which=20
means you would just take your catalog backup tapes to the DR site and=20=
restore all the images. You'd then be able to browse your backups as if=20=
you'd just imported all your tapes.
You _are_ doing catalog backups I assume :)
Cheers

Hi Jan
I wouldn't like to import tapes for DR - as you say it would take far

Most sites have the same NetBackup version at primary and DR, which
means you would just take your catalog backup tapes to the DR site and

if you'd just imported all your tapes.
