I came across an article in the symposium archives which discussed long distanced backups, though it might have been only a couple of thousand miles.. I'll see if I can find it when I get some time.

We are discussing the viability/possibility of having TSM clients in Qatar backing up to our TSM servers, here in Richmond! Is this possible? Feasible? What are the implication of such a long distance backup? Anybody else doing this kinda thing? I gather we would probably need to do things like encryption (who knows how many countries/routers the link would go through) as well as CRC checking! I also question the legality/licensing/export issue? Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? War-Stories?
