If the client machines are Windows systems, then you could use multiple masters. If the client systems are anything else, you will have to go with a Enterprise wide master and media servers at the branches. Windows incremental backups in NB are based on the archive bit (unless someone has done

Just FYI / Netbackup can backup on Windows via Archive bit or Timestamp. Timestamp isn't a HUGE issue in this case, the only issue being that the incremental will backup everything changed since the last incremental (including anything changed but backed up by the full.) Its not like timestamps

No solution should be based on a single full backup tape that is rewritten each week! First problem: if a full backup fails, you have no backup. Second problem: if your full backup overwrites the first, you have just invalidated (in any logical sense, while probably not NetBackup sense) any

This won't work with the incremental backups. The second master server will think that nothing was backed up and do another full, and hike up their WAN usage. But I do agree that having one master server with a media server at each site is the better way to go. - Original Message -

I don't see in here how much data you're talking about, but another option is to split your problem up between uptime and data protection... If you lose a server at a remote site (multi-drive failure in a raidset, spilled coffee, whatever) I can't see making that 4-hour SLA unless you have

I'm getting ready to do Migration from a 5.1mp6 Sparc(V880-Sol 9) to a 6.5 Solaris 10 X64 server(x4500) (same hostname). I was planning on just doing a catalog backup and recovery to the new server but I'm doubting this will work. Instead I'll probably need to upgrade the V880 to 6.5.1 before I
