Apologies for the thread resurrection but I've just come across this and want to get it straight in my head.
I use VBR in a home scenario. I have a daily backup of client machines to my local VBR server. There is then a weekly backup copy job which copies to a remote repository which is on a dedicated drive in a machined located at my place of work, connected via a VPN. The backup copy is encrypted. This all works fine.
The offsite backup copy is obviously intended for disaster recovery but, from what I'm reading here, it sounds like I still need the VBR server to access it?
So what happens if I completely lose my local server? I'm then screwed? Doesn't this totally defeat the purpose?
Thanks.
