Hi All,
=20
We are considering ways which we can make a seperate backup of certain
machines for disaster recovery purposes only. We have a fair amount of
data we would like to write to this DR pool (~2.5Tb).

We have previously tried cloning, but have found that tape to tape
cloning for us is taking far too long. In the future we will be looking
at a disk backup solution and then cloning to tape.

We currently write a seperate full non-indexed weekly backup of these
machines to a different tape pool and take offsite for storage of a
period of 3 weeks.=20
We recently had a problem with one of these machines where the indexes
became corrupt (for the indexed daily backup pool - full every 2 weeks,
incrementals daily) and could only get data back via a saveset recovery.
We were told that this was because we are backing this client up to one
pool which is indexed and a DR pool which is not - Is this correct,
bearing in mind we have a number of other clients doing the same thing
which appear to be fine??
=20
Does anyone use similar DR techniques successfully or have any other
solutions to create reliable DR sets?

Config:
Server - Solaris 9 NW v7.1.2 with 9 dlt8000 tape drives
90 Clients - Mostly v7.1.1
