We tried backing up using network shares and had numerous problems on large
shares >50GB. The jobs would terminate as a successful backup with status
zero, but would only have backed up a portion of the files. We referred to
this as clipping. Because the jobs indicated they were successful we had to
perform a comparison of the size of the data backed up to the actual folder
size and restart the jobs that stopped short. Veritas recommended switching
to NDMP backups as a solution and we have not seen the problem since.
Hope this helps,
Tony

>We are wondering what peoples thoughts are on NDMP backups. I ask because
we
are currently doing NDMP Based backups from a EMC Celerra to STK FC 9940B
Drives @ 12-15MBs. It just seems expensive to have $30K FC Tape Drives
having
to be dedicated per Celerra DataMover. Has anyone had any experience
mounting
NAS Shares to a Win2k Box and then doing Regular backups? It would seem
that
you would have more flexibility by being able to share the $30K instead of
having to dedicate a drive per DataMover or NasHead....
