The reason why I'm asking this is that I have to "design" some backup scenarios. Each time there is a SAN and a (slower) LAN between 2 sites. One site is the primary site with the production servers, the other site is the DR/test/acceptation site. Somehow I have to backup servers on both sites and do electronic vaulting. Preferable no tape library.
I have some idea's, but none of them is good enough. Right know, I'm doing SAN based backups from the second site to the first site to a library. The best setup I can find is setting up a TSM server on each site. Each TSM server can access SAN disks on it's own site and disks on the other site (for copy stgp). The only problem I see is monitoring the disk usage so I can give each TSM what it needs. Also, for the copy storage pool I need FILE based disk storage pools and that means reclamation. And reclamation on a remote SAN means lots of data traffic. Stef
