Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU cross-site

I agree. Though it would be more expensive (for licenses), I also recommend a Master at each site. If you do the remote method, you will eventually lose the link to the Master and you won't be having much fun.

First, you cannot run NetBackup servers in a Zone. The UNIX admin here already tried that and the install script even said it wasn't supported. Second, I wouldn't run master/media servers across a WAN; especially since NOM has the ability to manage multiple Master servers from a centralized console. If you lose the WAN, you done and all you backups fail. Third, with new de-duplication and replication products that are available today, they offer a great solution for doing your own self insurance with each site having a replicated copy of the other. I'm going to be using Quantum’s DXi units here soon to do just that. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by spaldam AT spaldam DOT com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to abuse AT backupcentral DOT com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu AT mailman.eng.auburn DOT edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
