As I said there are two ways to look at it. For full DR we all back up so that if a site disaster were to happen we could keep the business running. If the hot site were to be the one destroyed then you do need a plan because the next backup will need to go somewhere. Remember the primary cop

Don't forget to consider the possibility that your disaster could happen the other way around - the swarms of locusts may consume your hotsite, leaving only your "primary site" functional. If the only copy of the data is over there, you're in the same boat, up the same creek, without the same paddl

Just a different thought why not back everything up to the a TSM server at the DR hotsite. You should easily be able to backup 1.5 TB's of information in a night though a 1 Gb connection. If this is new Fibre then you may have a 2 Gb connection or more through DWDM (or what ever that acronym i

everything seems fine to me if you want to have full DR with TSM solution you have to have another (same or similar) hardware infrastructure to recover primary storage pools your second TSM server would have function when something happen to the primary storage data or cartidges or disks - --
