Hello,
I wanted to pose this question to the forum to try and better understand what's best practice for one of our remote offices and our plan to install a backup infrastructure locally. Here's the scenario:
We have a remote office (no current backup infrastructure exists) and we are planning on installing a Data Domain device using OST. We typically in our larger offices have always added an NBU Media Server locally as well to help manage the backups and traffic to the backup units and for restores etc.. However, in a smaller office (smaller total amount of data to be backed up) I'm wondering should I or do I need to install a Media Server as well. Or could I register the Data Domain to a media server that is in another office and the data would then still back up to the local DD and then with SLP's replicate the data to it's DR location to another DD.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
