I have done this by running bpbackupdb -dpath daily and scping this over
to my DR site.
The caveat is i have to have the DR site backup server named the same as
the production site. I dont use dns so this isnt a problem under normal
running.
I found when the names were different the media could not bee seen and
there were storage unit issues and volume database problems which were
too time consuming to resolve. I did try the bpimage -oldserver
-newserver but that didnt fix things.
I find it easier now to just have hostnames the same. It all works
fantastically for DR and i just bprecover the catalogues on the DR
server which came across yesterday from the Production site.
I have a basic doc i wrote on my procedure if it helps at all
Cheers
