Remote media server on backup network
I have an interesting scenario
In a remote site i would like to create a backup network and the clients and media server of that site will have a NIC on that network. i wont all backups from clients to media to go through the backup network.
The caveat is that that the master wont have access to the backup network.
Here is the example
Master
master01 10.10.10.5
Media
media01 10.10.20.5
media01-backup 192.168.1.5
clients
10.10.20.x
192.168.1.x
The master has access to the 10.10.20.x network but not the 192.168.1.x how can i make sure the backups are going to media01-backup?
can this be done with preferred network?
backup Data does not travle between the Master and media server and it send only the Meta data info(catalog info).
so the communication between the master and media server does not make much diffrence even they use backup network or other network...( using the backup network is a fair deal)
so the important thing that we need to consider is, how the Media server communicating with the Clients...?
does the have the good communication with media server over the Backup Network or not...
if they have that is all we need....
make sure the clients in the backup policys is poinng or resoving the backup IP in the media server..
for example:-
you have a client
client1 --> 10.10.20.20 ---> other network
client1-backup --->192.168.1.6 --> backup network
just make sure client1-backup is specified in the policy and also media server is resolivng the same IP.
----
you can achive this by prefered network by using the name client1-backup in bp.conf of client.
