If I understand correctly, a future release of NSR will address my situation by
allowing me to use another node in our network as a "storage node". In fact,
DEC (Compaq) support says NSR 5.2 is being released this month.
Some suggested running the backup from the remote site. For various reasons,
we don't want to do that here. Another option would be using homemade script(s)
, probably using the dd utility, to duplicate the data to the remote location.
I will wait until we receive the latest NetWorker package with "storage node"
technology.
