[Veritas-bu] Re: Move backups off Data Domain to tape at specific intervals

2007-05-05 Thread cpreston
Vault is definitely the way to go, but bpduplicate can be used at no extra charge. Anything more than basic usage, though, and you'll find yourself wanting vault. (This message was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via a forum at http://www.backupcentral.com.)

I'm looking into whether or not this is true. If it is, it's time for an email campaign. Some see it as a security hole, and I think that's ridiculous. Anybody who is root/Administrator on a NetBackup master can push any file to any client any time they want via a backup/restore command.
