We received a new EMC Celerra NAS server and I was hoping
for some pointers at backing it up. We also have a Clarion
for SAN use, fyi. Before we start - I wasn't consulted on
the purchase, so what follows is the situation as handed
to me after the fact.

I read through the Celerra doc "Configuring NDMP Backups
with Celerra & Legato Networker", which is reasonably self
explanatory (except that I'm still becoming familiar with
EMC concepts and terminology).

What bothers me is that all the examples assume you have
your tape jukebox either connected to a Data Mover or SAN.
That's all well & good except my jukebox is attached to the
backup server via SCSI with current NDMP backups (Netapp)
running over the network.

Can I backup the Celerra as I do the Netapps, over the LAN?
Or am I looking at jukebox hw purchases to attach it to the
SAN or a Data Mover?

server
------
Legato 6.1.4
Solaris 5.8

jukebox
-------
Spectralogic 12000, with drives split equally between
std SCSI devices off server & NDMP devices
