Hello Barry 
 
You may be in deep trouble here. 
 
If you are at the 4.5 fp3 or higher level, you can use the new ndmpmover daemon 
to drive a tape drive attached to a master/media server as a ndmp drive. 
 
If I read the manuel correctly (note has to be at the fp3 or higher ndmp book) 
this drive can only be used as an ndmp device. 
 
I wonder if one can stop the ndmpmover daemon and then use the drive as an 
non-ndmp drive? I believe that this would require two storage unit defined. And 
one would have to be set inactive at all times. 
 
Another possible solution. If this is a cifs only netapp, then you can mount 
the netapp shares on the w2k master and back them up. 
 
Let us know how it works out.

        Subject: [Veritas-bu] One NetApp filer, one tape drive
        
        

           I'm in the process of configuring an NBU installation.  I have NBU
        Business Server 4.5, one NetApp filer, one library with a single tape
        drive, a win2k server acting as the media/master server and a couple of
        win2k, linux and solaris clients to backup.  From the documentation it
        seems that I need to dedicate a tape drive to an NDMP storage unit if I
        want to backup the NetApp via NDMP.  If I do this, is there any way to
        backup the other clients to that tape drive?  There seemed to be a hint
        in the docs that I can make the master server an NDMP/proxy server. 
        Does anyone have any pointers?
        
        Thanks,
