RE: Backup of DMZ Servers

Netbackup to a private backup network.  The backup network is not 
accessible from anywhere, except through a console connection.

If the backup network isn't accessible from anywhere except a 
console connection, how do the backup clients connect to the backup 
server?  If they have interfaces plugged into the backup network 
(they must) and the systems are accessible from a network other 
than the backup network (they will be), then I just hack into 
any system from one of these other networks and I have access to all 
of the systems on the backup network.  And I don't need to go 
through a firewall to get to them.

I prefer the "tar up the files and scp them to the backup server"
method.

Scott
