I've got a master replicating to another site.  The catalog is going over
there (the server is already a media server), and it's got the right
hardware (Decru encryption appliance in the same cluster, same tape drives,
etc)., but I've never tested a recovery.  Getting the data replicating was
the first phase of our DR implementation.   For now, I've got the data and
Symantec's phone number.  One of these days, we'll finish the job and make
sure we've actually got a working recovery model.
