OBII, DLT Library & multiple LANs

[Greg Keenan]

I have a DLT library sitting in the server LAN that is used to back up all my servers. I would like to backup the servers sitting in the DMZ as well.

What secure options are available to me?

1. Could I add a second LAN card to the DLT library and patch it to the DMZ LAN? Would that be a security hole?

2. Get a fibre channel card for the DLT library and attach the DMZ servers directly?

3. Get a second LAN card for all my servers, plug them into a seperate switch (or VLAN) and create a backup LAN?

Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help.

If you tape library has room for one more drive, put a drive in there and hook it up to a media server in the DMZ. Use it to back up all machines outside your firewall. The bad thing is you still have to make a hole on port 5555 to let the cell server talk to the media server. But since there is much less traffic going thru, it won't overwhelm your firewall.
