So it sounds like it might be easier to just run 2 backups and take one
of them off-site ?

I don't think this is true.  According to Veritas, Vault requires
duplication using the original host drives.  So if you have 1 drive
attached to the filer, too bad, no dup for you.  If you have 2 you can
do it, but ndmp dup is *extremely* painful as it goes over network,
not
direct attach whatever (fcal, scsi, etc...).
