Hello

With NBU 4.5 you have slightly better options than with the 3.x versions.
NBU 4.5 supports remote NDMP, i.e. you can backup ndmp data to a drive 
connected to a backup/mediaserver. 
However you still have to dedicate the drive to ndmp data and can not write any 
other data to it.
As far as I know NFS is not an option for you, since BusinesServer does not 
allow you to NFS mount a client (not sure about CIFS)

For your environment I only see two options:

- add a second drive
- there backup products with excellent ndmp support on the market

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,

Barry Lustig
