Please give me your opinions if this is a good thing or not.  Our
environment is:

Netbackup Enterprise 5.1

Master Server on HP-UX 11i

Media Server on HP-UX 11i

SureStore 20/700 Library (LTO-1)

 

Our catalog backups are now going exclusively to disk and being copied via
SRDF to our disaster site.  I have also created a normal policy that will
backup the copied catalog disk area to be sent offsite.   What this gives me
is an offsite copy and a local copy of my catalog on disk and offsite tape
backup.  I realize that if I want to restore from the offsite tapes I will
have to drop the catalog images to disk and then restore from there.  Does
anyone see a problem with this?  

 

Thanks in advance.
