Hi all,
One of my client is running 6 physical servers and wants to do a file level backup of these servers onto an IBM Storage (SAN);
This backup on SAN must be replicated/backed up on another SAN;
What is the BE2012 solution that must be provided for this process to take place?
Thank you!

Hi,
You might want to check out the SDR option:

However, don't do an array-based replication. It might end up messing the BE catalogs etc. up. You might need the BE 2012 Enterprise Server Option with CASO envoked to do the replication of the data to the remote array.
Thanks!

Hi Craig,
Thanks for your reply;
The second SAN is in a remote site;
Do we have to check the latency between both the SAN?
If latency is low, can a deduplication option be given to help faster backup?

It could, yes. You'd be looking at optimised dedupe...you'd still need the ESO license for this. Check the links below for more information:

For optimised duplication, only the changed data blocks are transmitted across the wire, minimising the bandwidth requirement and unlike normal duplication, there is an option to throttle the bandwidth requirement.
