we keep our tapes offsite and have then delivered to sungard. 
sungard will have a server with solaris 10 installed with a sans and
library attached.
when i show up i load netbackup. import the catalog, clean up the
hardware configuration, run the wizard to add in the drives and robot.
open the door of the library and load the tapes, update the media and
your ready to restore!

also, you had better look into the catalog issues with 6.0 mp5 if you
are compressing your catalog.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Off-site Master



Currently I have a primary AIX 6.0 MP5 Master in Cleveland.   My goal in
the coming months is to have Sungard house another master server for
disaster recovery.   I need some suggestions on how I can keep the
Sungard
master which is not connected to a tape library, just external disk in
step with the Sungard master, obviously the catalog is a big concern.
Currently we have an OC12 in place.

When we arrive at Sungard for testing, Sungard will provide us with
access to an ACSLS robotic library like the one we have in Cleveland.

I need an inexpensive way to replicate or whatever option to keep the
Sungard master in sync with the Cleveland master.  Ideas?


Thanks
