Hi to all,

   Good day. Will someone help me what are the things to make sure and done on creating a replica of Primary NBU master server in to the DR site? We are planning to make a clone or replica of the Master server that will do the job in either backing up or restoring clients on the DR site. What are the things that should be keep in mind? I need the complete procedure upon doing this. For the mean time the machine that will be use as a replica of the master server is here in the HO, we will install NBU software on the replica since it's a new machine. The machine is running on Windows server 2003 OS. Can someone help??? Thank you very much...

Restoring 32-bit catalog on a 64-bit server is supported, not the other way round. Restore will probably fail if you attempt this...

Hi Marianne., we have successfully restored the caatalog backup from 32bit into a 64bit machine. Now everything's working good. Thanks!
