    ...mmm...iSCSI means you would be able to present that library to the remote server across your WAN/LAN.

    Check the TN below which mentions that iSCSI is supported:

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO24287

    You'd need the Enterprise Server Option in order to do this. This would license SAN SSO, which in turn allows you to share your library across the WAN to Site B.

    You really need to think about the sort of speeds you're likely to get across your WAN though...

    TN on the ESO option:

    So, what you want to do is entirely possible with what you have...

    Thanks!

    You need to configure Backup Exec with an approprate private cloud server configuration (whcih may or may not need CASO/ESO depending on ecatlu which options best fits your requirements.

    Please reveiw the information in

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH172464

     

    Please bear in mind that the documenst referenced in the above article discussed a configuration where the private cloud server is hosted by a managed service provider. In a large WAN environment this can be assumed to just be a remote site owned by the same company and any references to VP links can be replaced with just a WAN link.

     

    Make sure you review each of the configuration options

    - Multitenenant cloud media server

    - Offsite Copy to cloud managed media server

    - Offsite copy to cloud central administration server

    - Direct copy

    In order to decide which configuration might be most appropriate based on speed/reliability of WAN links and availability of on on-site Media server (including where the tape device will be located)
