For those of you using Remote NDMP, how many are using the Netbackup for
NDMP agent on a unix server to act as the third-party agent? How is the
performance of the Unix agent as compared to using a filer as a remote
agent?

We use the remote NDMP option. We have one filer that is the recipient of
all of our snapshots from all the other filers and we have a tape drive that
hangs off of it *thru the SAN). We do remote NDMP backups for 2 other filers
thru it. It works pretty well and the performance over NFS is HUGE!

Oh - and to answer your question, we just NFS mount the filers to a central
box & backup via NFS. Not very efficient but we didn't want to spend the
drives for dedicated backups.
We're consisdering it now that our backups have grown so huge - it may pay
us back on time savings.

Just FYI: although the v6.0 feature list has shared drives for NDMP, both
Netapp & Veritas say it doesn't work.
Coming soon to a patch kit near you, I guess. It takes a pretty high level
of OnTap, too. Something to verify.

I'm currently backing up a pair of NetApp gf940 filers, using Netbackup
5.0MP4 on a Solaris 8 master, with HP LTO3 drives in a STKL700 library.
The master is configured as the robotic control host.
Drive(s) MUST be dedicated to the filer in pre NB6.0 versions
I have a pair of LTO3 drives zoned to the "tape" HBA of the filer, created
the appropriate STU, started the daemons, and off to the races.
are you already backing it up and you're looking for options going forward?
or is this a new install?
if you need step by step config, let me know....I can write up a procedure
for you.
Note...NDMP restores suck.....didn't meet our SLAs for restores, snapshots
are an issue in our shop....not technically, but due to some wierd
policies...but anyway, drop me a line if you need more info on getting it
going.

STK L700 - 5 - 9840C drives, SSO, ACSLS
I am reading some conflicting information so I thought I would ask the
experts. How are all of you backing up your NAS devices? Is anyone using
the "enhance" Netbackup 6.0/NDMP agent? Anyone using NetApp and if so are
you dedicating drives to the backup?
The information is greatly appreciated.
