Hi, I'm still in the mist of a backup design to use either a DSU or a DSSU target for my interim backups. Would like to know if there's a limitation in the number of streams if the storage unit is a DSU? I also assume multiplexing will not be a issue if the target is DSU right? Another

Hi, Yes, if both siteA and siteB is under one backup domain, inventory of siteB library will update siteA media catalog. However, the replication of virtual tape from siteA to siteB, will the mediaID be the same? Does NBU allow the same tape media exist in different tape libraries? Another

You would first have to make siteA volumes non-rbotic and then inventory site B. NBU will assume a tape has been pulled from 1 library and reinserted into another. Its key to make siteA volumes non-robotic however before inventory'ing site B. The replication i.e. same volume will be down to your
