Yes our VTL is replicated between two different data centers.

Since moving to VTL we've never had any tapes appearing in
WRKMEDBRM TYPE(*ERR)
Like we did with mylar.

We have done restores to a machine in one location from saves made on a machine in the other location.

Since we are using replication software (Quick-EDD, was Mimix) we do our nightly saves on our HA machines.
