Lisa, Our environment is not the same as yours. We are Linux w/7.3.2 of Networker (doing ok with just a few minor problems that we have to deal with). We have 3 X EMC DataMovers that we are currently using NDMP to backup over FC.

We are planing on changing that from NDMP to mounting the NAS file systems via NFS for: 1) already sunk ~10K per NDMP license - in case we add to our NAS situation - no more ~10K per DM; 2) Easier for redirected recoveries; and 3) More flexibility w.r.t to separating our Full backups and Incremental/Levels into different Pools - for disaster recoveries situations.

Just My 2 Cents.

Randy

We are planning on implementing a EMC Celerra (with 2 Datamovers) that
we hope to backup using NDMP and non-ndmp tape drives that are attached
to our Legato Server. We are not planning on setting up a Fiber
connection from the NAS to the Legato Server. We are running Windows
2003 with all the latest SP and hotfixes and Legato 7.2.1. Does anyone
have any past experience with this type of setup and how difficult was
it? How easy? How would you set it up? Were cloning and restores easy or
problematic? Were any special fixes required from Legato? I have read
previous posts but want to see how it is working for people now. Thanks
for you help.
