I am trying to decide upon 2 different setups.

1) 2 separate Netbackup 5.1 servers, each with it's own library

2) 1 master/media server + 1 media-only server (e.g. the master server has it's
own silo and also controls a remote media server with it's own silo.

Which configuration would be best for DR (if any) ?

e.g....In option 1, I would have a surviving master and need to merge in the
broken master's catalogs, clients, etc. into the surviving master.
whereas in option 2, if I lost the master, I would need to make the media server
into my new master, and import all catalog info, etc.over to it and make it into
a master/media instead of just a media server.

Which of the above 2 would be more complicated to do in a disaster?

Thanks in advance for the advice.


Chris.
