When you have an availability group that crosses NetBackup domains, you can use Auto Image Replication (A.I.R.) to replicate backup images to another NetBackup domain. The following configuration requirements exist:

• Configure the storage in the NetBackup source and target domains:

  • For OpenStorage, a disk appliance of the same type in each domain. The disk appliance type must support NetBackup Auto Image Replication (A.I.R.).

  • For NetBackup deduplication, the storage that NetBackup can use for a Media Server Deduplication Pool in each domain.

• Configure the domain where the backups occur as the source domain. Then configure the domain where you want to restore the backups as the target domain.
