Are you talking about backing clients up over a LAN (inside a
datacenter) or over a WAN (remote sites)?
=20
=20
For LAN, Sure! NetBackup works just fine. You must install the client on
the LAN clients you want to backup. The only thing you need to watch out
for is the amount of data you will be pumping across the network. This
can have big effects on backup speeds.
=20
As for WAN backups, that is a little more tricky. David Chapa has
another thread about this right now. Some people place media servers at
the remote locations (with local standalone drives or libraries) and use
their master back at the datacenter. Others implement a replication
strategy that replicates data over the WAN link back to the datacenter
where it is then backed up to a tape device. My customer currently has
remote masters at all of their sites. This was done so that backups were
not dependant on the WAN link for anything.=20

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Using Netbackup to backup remote clients
Hello,=20
We've purchased netbackup to backup our servers that we have in a san.
We would also like to use netbackup to backup remote clients on our lan
in which we're currently using backup exec 8.6 to backup. One of our
team members talked with veritas yesterday and veritas told him that he
shouldn't use netbackup to backup clients on a wan link. Is anyone
using netbackup to backup clients over a lan? That's what I thought the
netbackup client was supposed to accomplish..
Any input is greatly appreciated...=20
