Duplication or Replication??
I have two sites.
- LOCAL site has one NBU 7.6 Master/Media a Tape Library with two LTO6 Drives
- REMOTE (DR) site has one NBU Master/Media a Tape Library with two LTO6 Drives
NOTE: Local Site and Remote site are connected through WAN.
Issue:
How can I make the remote site a true DR with Tape Library as opposed to DD?
One of the recommendations was to keep both sites under one Netbackup domain, then backup on local tape library, create a duplication SLP and duplicate the data through WAN to the remote tape library.
Is this a possible solution? Does any one has a better suggestion?
if you would like to setup the DR only with Tape Library , configuring both sites under one master server is the better option.
make sure you have very good bandwith to duplicate the backups from one site to another site...
take backups to local tape library and use SLP to duplicate the data to remote tape library.
yes..you can perform all backup restore opeatioins as same as you are doing now in one site...
the biggest thing you need to consider is network connectivity and bandwidth.
since you have tapes... all data has to duplicate over the wan, it can not do optimized duplications.( its for DD and MSDP)
