Hello,
I am having some trouble trying to figure out a process of performing an initial seed. I've looked at a few articles but none specify what needs to be done for my current situation
https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH...
My environment has 15 remote sites and our datacenter. A few of these sites have data in the TB's. For DR purposes we are doing file level backups of VM's using the VMware options. Our server is on 7.7.2.
Our process is each site has a media server that will make a local backup copy of our file server VM's, it will then duplicate the backup to our datacenter where our master is connected to a storage unit supplied by veritas. I'm trying to figure out how to perform an initial seed on the VM for duplication between media and master. The recommended way of seeding I'm not seeing how this will benifit us as it still requires going over the WAN pipe. Putting the "data" onto a usb drive would be great if I was just backing up data but since I'm backing up a VM I'm not sure what I would put on the USB to ship. I thought about creating a backup locally and then shipping the image and importing it at our datacenter but I'm not seeing any good articles on how that work.
Would appreciate any help on trying to solve this. As mentioned we are on version 7.7.2
Thank you
