Speaking from experience here, if the remote site is a small office with
1-5 servers and a small library, DO NOT USE NETBACKUP!
=20
BackupExec works just fine, and it MUCH easier to manage!!
=20
We are considering purchasing devices from Tacit
(http://www.tacitnetworks.com/) which not only replicate data back to
our main datacenter to be backed up, but they also (supposedly)
replicate user data (files) email / exchange DBs and Active Directory
functions. Worst case scenario, if the local box goes down everyone
grabs the "master" files from the WAN.
=20
Admittedly I'm not in the group that is testing this device, but I've
heard nothing but rave reviews so far.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Backing up Remote Sites
You might want to consider something like Data Domain or a product like
Riverbed.
I like the idea of Riverbed (a WAN acceleration device), where you could
bring your file servers back to the local site, backing them up there,
and then your remote users would access the file server via the WAN,
with Riverbed devices on each end. The idea is that this device makes
the file server appear local to the remote users.

Any way you cut it remote site backups are a pain and the fewer
autonomous NBU environments you have the better off you will be.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing up Remote Sites
=20
All,
I just wanted to get an idea of what everyone is doing to back up any
remote sites they may have. I am running NBU 5.1 MP4 on W2K3 servers. I
have a few sites with a single DC that is acting as file server, and
print server. As of right now, these single servers are not getting
backed up. Can NBU be used for this or should we look into something
else? Any insight would be appreciated.=20

Thanks,
Jason
