All, We are currently running 7.5 on Windows and looking to add deduplication appliances as a backup target. Ideally, we would purchase the DPOO (OST/AIR) license to keep track of the images as they write locally and then replicate to DR, but that may not be a possibility based on budgetary concerns. Without getting into the specifics of which deduplication appliances we are looking at, I can safely assume that we can use a DSU or DSSU to write to a local CIFS target (e.g. \\Prod-Appliance\Backup1 replicated behind the scenes to \\DR-Appliance\Backup1). I am looking at a scenario where we use VM replication to replicate the master/media servers from Prod to DR. When I bring up this master/media in DR, could I use a hostname/DNS alias to make \\Prod-Appliance redirect to \\DR-Appliance?
I realize that this is essentially a "poor man's OST/AIR", but this may be the path I have to go down due to budgetary constraints. Is anyone doing anything similar to this? In previous versions of Netbackup I could crack open the catalog files to modify the fragment locations (e.g. E:\Backup --> F:\Backup) but it looks like those pointers have all been moved (into the DB?) Your ideas are appreciated, -Jonathan _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
