Q1. Yes, but you would have to import the tape

Q2. Duplicate the full backup images to be sent offsite.
        You can accomplish this by using Veritas bpVault, the GUI, or using 
some of
your own scripts.  Alternatively, you can use the scripts I have written,
DataStaff's Duplication Suite for Netbackup, which can be found on my
website.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Types of backup question


Hi All,

  When I do a full backup and its retention is two weeks would I still be
able to restore the files past the two week retention if the tapes are not
written over?  Also if I wanted to do a full backup and store it offsite for
security what type of backup is best?

Thanks,

Chester
