Hi

    We have a backup server in our primary setup that is connected to a 4-drive 
LTO3 tape library and a newly configured Virtual library. In DR we have a 
backup server connected to a 2-drive LTO3 tape library. The VTL is visible and 
configured on DR backup server as well. We will be shifting all our 
daily/weekly backups to VTL in a short while. Since the same VTL is available 
on both backup servers, we want the index files & media db in the primary 
server be migrated to DR backup server so that restoration can be done in case 
the primary server goes down. Is there a way to do this?

    We know that to make index files be available on another backup server, you 
have to scan the media and recreate the index. We also tried shutting down the 
services on both servers and copying the index and media db folders. the second 
approach works but is there a better way to make this happen?

Backup servers are running Networker 7.5 on Windows 2003 Server.

Thanks
opopanax.
