We have a master server in remote location which we use to backup our most important application that sits on an AIX server. We have an identical AIX server here onsite which we use for DR purposes and we back it up using another Master server. Recently we conducted a DR test in which took the tape from the remote location and shipped it on-site, I conducted a Phase 1 and 2 import of the image, the import process took over 8 hours because the image is about 1.2 TB in size. Once the image was imported i was able to restore the data to the DR server but that took a long time as well. Is there any way to design the Netbackup topology where the two master servers would be part of a trust group and can share images without having to go through the import process? How can I reduce the time it takes to recover the data?
I need a solution
