Alex,
        What we do is to use Robocopy (between windows systems) and rsync
(between unix systems) to bring data from remote sites to local disk
partititions which are then backed up by N/B in the usual way.  This method
has the advantage that restores of the most recent files can be done
immediately from the disk copies without getting N/B involved (and waiting
for tapes to be loaded and read).

Cheers,

Richard.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackUp over a WAN ... [recommendations please]

Hi all,

We are looking at doing backups between remote sites (8 - 10 hour drive)
across
our WAN using NetBackUp 6.0.

Can I please have thoughts and recommendations on what technologies NB6.0
offers
to enhance/embrace doing this type of backup ? Or even general principles
one
must be aware of when backing up data via this method.

Regards

 - aW
