Hi Ed
Yes I know .. the upgrade will need to wait a little longer.
I'm not trying to share the drive between normal backups and NDMP backups.
The drive attached to the NAS is doing backups now. I want to split the volumes into separate policies
because of the size of the volumes and configure another drive to backup the other volumes.
How can I configure the 2nd drive to run NDMP backups for the policy created for the other volumes?
I thought there is a way I can change the drive path using tpconfig to backup the nas.
Will I need to authenticate the Master server with the filer to use this 2nd drive which is directly attached to the Master (1st drive attached directly to the nas)?
Goal - 2 drives backing up multiple NDMP policies
I know the upgrade is needed but that is out of my control at the moment. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Todd

One of the locations I work with is using NBU 5.0 MP7 Windows environment.
There are 4 drives
3 - connected to the Master and 1 drive directly attached to the filer.

1 drive is direct attached to the NAS and is configured properly and works.
The additional drive is connected to the Master Server.
I am trying to configure this drive attahced to the Master as a secondary drive for NDMP backups.
Are you trying to share the same drive between NetBackup and NDMP? In 5.0, you can't - the drive must be 100% available for NetBackup backups or 100% NDMP. Starting with 6.5 (I don't think it made it into 6.0 but definitely wasn't in 5.x), you can share a drive between the 2 environments.
5.0 is totally unsupported by Symantec. It's time for an upgrade...
