No, 6.0 and 6.5 do not have anything like that, although it would be good. I have not heard anyone in development mentioning this being a possibility even in the 7.0 release....but who knows. The 7.0 release is supposed to be the "security focused" release. Here is a kind of an out-of-the-box idea. I don't know if it would be feasible in this environment or not, certainly not tested, and if you ever had to recover one of the "infinite" releases, there would be some manipulation involved. I also don't know how much data you are looking at.
This suggestion would require all of your data at your remote domains to be backed up to disk. Then, you could make each of your Master Servers a PureDisk client and back up to a remote Pure Disk server attached to a Master Server and use the integration in 6.0 to vault the data to tape.

I want to backup to a Data Domain at each site and replicate the backup data to a central site, which also contains its own master server. At this central site I have a need to offload some remote backups to tape for infinite retention. I know there are several ways to handle this, all requiring some manipulation. The most sensible option would be to replace the masters at each remote site with a media server talking to the central location - but I cant get the buy in to do that. So, I am trying to figure out the easiest option. Is there any type of catalog sharing in 6.0 or 6.5? I am reviewing documentation but so far havent seen anything. My only other options I am thinking are to backup as normal and replicate to central - then use the master at that site to import the backup images into its catalog and perform a bpduplicate. Obviously this is cumbersome. Does anyone have other ideas? Thanks for the help. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
