Replicating OST Data

The DXi4700 can replicate (duplicate) OST data to another DXi using the following methods:

Replication Method

Description

Optimized Duplication

With optimized duplication, backup images on a storage 
server can be replicated to another storage server on a DXi 
that resides in the same NetBackup domain. The duplication 
occurs when it is initiated in NetBackup. With optimized 
duplication can specify up to two replication targets
