Deduplication

[kspare]

We are currently using backup exec 2010/2012 in our remote data center, and while we are upgrading our DR strategy, we are looking for a way to ship that data to our local office.

I'm curious what others are doing in situations like this?

1) You can use the manual method.  Duplicate the data onto tape/disk and transfer the tape/disk from one location to the other.

2) Use optimised dedup.  In this case, you set up media servers in each location with the dedup option and then use a good WAN link to duplicate the data (optimised dedup) to transfer the data from one location to the other.  You would also need a CASO licence and a good WAN link.
