Hello,
We've been running a single Backup Exec server onsite for the past few years. We now have offsite rack space at a colocation across the country and would like to set up a second server to send over. Since we haven't set up an environment with multiple Backup Exec servers before we'd like some advice.
Currently we are running Backup Exec 2014. On Fridays we do full backups of our servers to disk, with differentials running Monday - Thursday (also to disk). Once completed the fulls are duplicated to tape. We keep a 4 week rotation of tapes and retain each month end for one year.
What we'd like is to set up a second server that we can send to the colo, along with the tape drive. We'll run the backups locally, then duplicate them via a dedicated 100mbps MPLS connection to the colo.
Our thoughts are to switch from Differential to...
