Duplication to remote location and tape

Hi,

after reading some possible solutions without getting it to work, i hope to get a working answer here...

our system-setup has two symantec backup exec servers 15 with direct attachted disks on to different locations. the server on location A is holding the CASO - the server on location B is configured as managed media server and has a connection to a tapelibrary. the two locations are connected through a stable lan connection.

we though it should be possible to run a backup of server located in location A to the local disks of the backupserver located in location A - after this operation completed we wanted to duplicate this backup two the second backupserver in location B to backup the data to tape in a third step.

in some postings we could find, that it is necessary to do this over deduplication disk storage on location A, then duplicate to deduplication disk storage ob location B etc. also it should be necessary to activate the private cloud feature on both servers.

- so i activated the private cloud on both servers

- added a deduplication disk storage on both servers, now it looks like this:

storage1.jpg

- now i tried to create a new backup-job on location A (backup to disk on location A, duplicate to disk on location B, duplicate to tape on location B)

- in the first step i selected the deduplication-storage on location A as target

step1.jpg

- now in the second step i can just choose targets on location A and not on location B as expected

step2.jpg

so, what i'am doing wrong? or is it just impossible to run such a scenario?

thanks a lot :)
Sebastian

Where are your catalogs on the MMS stored? Locally, centralised, or replicated?

It is set to "Central administration server (centralized)" and greyed out.

Are the DeDupe devices shared between the servers ?
