Can we centralize the vaulting for remote sites?

on NBU, is there any way we can centralize the vaulting for remote sites? Need your perfessional suggestions. We are attemping to eliminate the tape rotation and IronMountain pickup on remote sites.

we have FalconStor VTL on each site, the primary backup copy will be hold by VTL, data will be replicated to centeral location after de-duplicated. Either regular virtual tape option or FSOST (FalconStor Open Storage Option for Symantec) can be used for backups. Data will need to be replicated around 2GB to 30GB (weekly, after de-duplicated).

1. if virtual tape option will be used, the tape replica will only reside in VTL, NBU database will not be updated. it will be hard for us to run policy drived vaulting jobs.

2. if FSOST option will be used, is there any easy way to move data from replica to tapes? is the Storage Lifecycle Policy fit in our picture?

Hey Mate,

 

I think tha Storage Lifecycle Policy will be perfect to deal with this, as long as you use it to define the backup and duplication targets - meaning - if the backup will be written to Falcon in remote location, duplication will be initiated with SLP and finally duplicated to the tape in Primary location. In this case NetBackup will be find information about images and eject tapes per Vault Profile configuration.
