Best Way to Export Images from remote site.
Good afternoon. I have a very remote site with it's own Media server which stores backup copies locally to a local MSDP pool. (Windows) The bandwidth out of that site is less then 1 Mbps. I have been duplicating the backups from that office out to a DR site hosting another media server with attached MSDP storage. The original images at the DR site came from backup tapes we couriered to the DR location and imported into that DR site MSDP pool.. Deduplication ran great even with that 1 Mbps connection. Management decided to retire the Tape libraries (old tech you know) and I was left with no means to transfer large amounts of backup data to the DR site if ever needed. (or visa versa) I'm looking at using portable USB SSD drives to export backup images out of that office (New server deployments etc) to the DR location. I'm just not sure how to use those drives ? Do I run backups in the remote office to Advanced Disk Storage and then copy to the portable disks or do I use the portable drives directly as Advanced Disk storage. Many Thanks in Advance Mike
