Hi Bob,

        In addition to Karen's suggestions. You can backup
        to a Gigabit Ethernet connected tape library as
        outlined at:

http://www.netapp.com/osn/info/config_gbe.html

        This essentially performs a 3-way backup, but
        instead of the target being a filer with a
        tape device its the tape library (running NDMP)
        itself.

Cheers,
    Grant

At less one tape drive must be attached to a NetApp box.  Your other NetApp
boxes can run 3-way backups to this NetApp box which has the tape drive.

Does the NDMP functionality require direct-attachment
of the tape drive to the netapp, or can it back up
the filer over the net?
