Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU cross-site

I’m curious though…. From a Disaster Recovery perspective, are you replicating a master across sites to avoid the master server being the single point of failure? If so, what are you using to do it?

I agree with Ed,

I have media servers scattered around the entire country without any issues.....

Second, I wouldn't run master/media servers across a WAN; especially since NOM has the ability to manage multiple Master servers from a centralized console. If you lose the WAN, you done and all you backups fail.

I disagree - we have media servers scattered in multiple locations connected to our main master and it's been working fine for a long time. Simply put, don't lose the WAN - we have redundant paths to all of our locations with media servers. If we lose WAN connectivity to our remote offices, they're in a world of hurt anyway and backups are the least of their problems.
