You might want to consider something like Data Domain or a product like Riverbed.

I like the idea of Riverbed (a WAN acceleration device), where you could bring your file servers back to the local site, backing them up there, and then your remote users would access the file server via the WAN, with Riverbed devices on each end.  The idea is that this device makes the file server appear local to the remote users.

 

Any way you cut it remote site backups are a pain and the fewer autonomous NBU environments you have the better off you will be.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing up Remote Sites

 

All,

I just wanted to get an idea of what everyone is doing to back up any remote sites they may have. I am running NBU 5.1 MP4 on W2K3 servers. I have a few sites with a single DC that is acting as file server, and print server. As of right now, these single servers are not getting backed up. Can NBU be used for this or should we look into something else? Any insight would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Jason
