EV 6 Disaster Recovery

[Steven_Willard]

I have a hard copy of a white paper from January 2005 that tells how to backup EV using Netbackup Advanced Client. I notice that this information is no longer available on the Veritas website and is not in the EV 6 manuals. Is it no longer valid to use the Advanced Client. If it is does someone have a soft copy of the document I mentioned as I don't want to type out the batch files listed.

Steven,
The advanced client will still work, however, it's not the recommended method. The point in time backup is the preferred method, where you put the vault in to RO mode, take the backup (with whatever method you like, snapshot, tape, etc), and then push the vault back in to RW mode.

Has anyone done an off-site full recovery test yet? How'd that go? We use a replicated Centerra so some of the file restore methods may not work, but I would love to hear about any good/bad lessons you got from it. Thanks! :)
