When I purchased 6.0 licenses about a year ago Master and
Media server licenses were the same cost. I don't see how a Master / Media
is any cheaper than a Master / Master unless you've got a software add-on that
licenses per Master. I agree with Justin on this one. Unless your
WAN is 100% stable (like fiber to a DR site down the road) I suggest Master /
Master so jobs run instead of fail when one server or the other or the WAN goes
down. Even with separate masters you can still do restores from one to the
other by copying catalog entries. Of course a fancy schmancy geocluster
would work as well (and get you some uber kudos on this forum.
=)

Based on what you describe, it seems
you only want to backup servers in a remote site but are not looking for a "DR"
solution. It would be far cheaper to have a single master server and a media
server in the remote site. This obviously keeps the license costs down and
centralizes the management.

| [Veritas-bu] Best setup for
NetBackup in 2 sites across the WAN link |

Dear Gurus,
What is the best setup for NetBackup in 2 sites across the
WAN link?
I will have a tape library on each site.
- Should I
purchase 2 NetBackup servers and manage them separately?
- Is it better (or
cheaper) to purchase NetBackup server for a primary
site and media manager
for the remote site?
Thank
you,
Aleksandr
