We have a need to backup servers in the DMZ. We're using Veritas BackupExec 8.6 for NT/2000. However, I'm a bit concerned about running the backups through the firewall (Sonicwall Pro), just because it's a lot of data that possibly could instead go through a separate physical Ethernet network - if you all bless it!?
Backup Exec does have the ability to utilize a separate physical Ethernet network/sub-net. So long as none of the servers (LAN Backup Server and DMZ Web Servers) have TCP/IP forwarding enabled, would it really represent a security risk/vulnerability to stick another NIC in the DMZ servers and the Backup Server and simply back them up through the separate Ethernet network rather than bogging down the firewall with all packets??? Thanks very much! Roy. _______________________________________________ Firewalls mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls
