    So which is it? Are you using Backup Exec or Netbackup at your local site? The more details provided, the better.

    Best is to contact your local Veritas reseller for a proper site assessment.
    There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration for a backup solution:

    To name only a few:
    Applications on each of the Windows servers
    Size of data on each of the Windows servers
    Budget
    RPO and RTO

    To replicate backup data to a remote site, you need supported Dedupe technology.
    There are many options - including NBU and BE's own media server dedupe.
