[Veritas-bu] Old DR recover files

2013-08-20 Thread Howard Graylin
I just realized that I have a ton of old DR files on one of my servers and am just wondering if I can safely delete them. I don't see any reason to keep them, but thought I'd ask before going forward. Thanks. ___ Veritas-bu maillist -

For tape you have to have a shared storage license on the media server. You also have to have created the storage unit for the media server as distinct from the one for the master. (Otherwise the media server will push the backup across the network o the master then write to tape.)

Just so we are clear here.. Node_A - Master/Media server Node_B - Client Conversion happens. Node_A - Master/Media server Node_B - Client/Media server Node_B is zoned so it can see the robot arm and tape drives that are attached to Node_A.
