I have several remote sites that contain their own master servers. I want to 
backup to a Data Domain at each site and replicate the backup data to a central 
site,  which also contains its own master server.  At this central site I have 
a need to offload some remote backups to tape for infinite retention.  

I know there are several ways to handle this, all requiring some manipulation.  
The most sensible option would be to replace the masters at each remote site 
with a media server talking to the central location - but I cant get the buy in 
to do that.  So, I am trying to figure out the easiest option.

Is there any type of catalog sharing in 6.0 or 6.5?  I am reviewing 
documentation but so far havent seen anything.

My only other options I am thinking are to backup as normal and replicate to 
central - then use the master at that site to import the backup images into its 
catalog and perform a bpduplicate.  Obviously this is cumbersome.

Does anyone have other ideas?
Thanks for the help.
