I am looking at the same thing. I currently have a working master at my DR site.
And once a day I replicate the db/images up to a separate directory on my DR master. ( I am using the restore without import method - also known as Partial catalog recovery) But right now I just rdist it up once a day. So if I lost my master here before the rdist runs I will not have the current db/images. So I am also looking at using Real Time (as it is free for the catalog) to see if I can get it to put it into a different directory on my DR master so I can still do the restore without import method. With Real Time it would always be current. -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Mark Glazerman Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2010 9:05 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU7 & Real Time Protection We're also looking at this although we already do something similar by replicating our catalog data using Data Domain appliances. At time of disaster we spin up lights out master and media servers (same hostname and IP's as our production boxes) at our DR site and recover the catalog using the NBU GUI. As I understand it, the Realtime protection element manages this replication directly from inside Netbackup allowing quick recovery of your catalog information at time of disaster. With our current setup, we can have the catalog restored within 25 minutes of getting connectivity to our remote data domain appliance. I'm wondering if there would be a way to have a duplicate DRmaster running at our DR site and have the catalog data replicated to it using this feature ?
