Well are you talking LAN or WAN? You have both in your email :-). LAN
backups work great with NBU. WAN backups will work fine also you just have
to play the numbers game (IE bandwidth, amount of data etc) to see if the
amount of data you are trying to backup over the WAN can be done within your
window.

 

Depending on your environment if your remote site has a lot of data you
could place a media server there then all backup data would stay local to
the remote site with only the meta data coming to the master server at the
main site. 

 

Of course placing a media server (with associated hardware) can be a large
expense so it may not be an option.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Using Netbackup to backup remote clients

 

Hello, 
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...
