Re: question about brms network backups

Before you jump into this remote backup possibility, check here to see how 
large a connection you need to transfer your data:
http://www.ibeast.com/content/tools/band-calc.asp
We were interested in replicating tapes between our primary and backup 
site, but the bandwidth made in impractical for us.

Are you using a data mirroring package? What we are trying to do is to run 
the backups on the remote system. We will embed a command in the data 
replication journals that tells the backup system to stop applying 
journals to the backup system, and start the backup. When the backup is 
complete, it tells the backup system to begin applying the journaled data 
that hasn't been applied.

question about brms network backups






Good morning!
 
Our scenario is - we have a new iSeries in the office, our BR machine is
now located miles away in a remote location.  The tape drive is attached
to the remote BR machine.  We would like to backup the new machine to
the remote tape drive/remote iSeries.  The 3 units are networked and
bandwidth is gong to be increased.
 
Is it possible to use BRMS to backup up the new machine to the remote
tape drive and or remote iseries?
 
How would one do this?
 
Thanks,
