Re: [Veritas-bu] Diaster Recovery

Thanks j.onathan,

But should I have a separate offsite_catalog pool? Or is it just more overhead and my dazed mind.

The duplication script only call a single destination pool OFFSITE

Hot catalog backups require their own volume pool. The drfile is just what you suggested, the image / pointer to the catalog backup.

I’ve been using offline catalogs and have now switched to online catalogs (6.5.4)

I’ve started duplicating the images using the duplicate_images script in the goodies directory.

I’m not using any switches (except –dp and –dstunit) so its duplicating everything (all clients, all policies etc) to the offsite pool.

My question is the catalog. Should the catalog have its own offsite pool?

How does the catalog know about the images the images that I just created? Is the catalog the last image written?

I seems to me that there is a lingering catalog image (of itself-duplication) that was never duped.

Or more likely I a bite dazed and it was duped and the drfile fixes everthing.

Thanks

Jim
