We have 3 sites with the current setup.
site one
backup server 2012
Tape device backup
Data domain -Dedupe backup
site two
Backup server 2012 Central server administration edition
Data domain -dedupe backup
site three
Backup Server 2012
Data Domain Backup-dedupe.
Tape device backup
If one site goes down lets say site one and I need to restore server from Tape backup at site three. I would need to move the tapes from site one to site three then do a inventory and catalog and then do a restore. But that will take around 8 hours to do 10 1.6T Tape catalog...is there a better or faster way to accomplish this. Is there a way i can copy or sync the catalog from one server to another and when i insert the tapes into another site and when i do an inventory it automatically recongizes the whats in the tapes and shows me the servers(which are not originally in site 3) in the backup and restore tape. Someone told me another way to do a Datadomain replication and get a dedupe boost licensen and somehow the backup server on all sites will know if one Datadomain is down then to use data from another Datadomain device. Basically i want another way to restore server to another site without doing long task of running catalog.
