Re: [Networker] New EMC Celerra - want to backup via NDMP

If you are using non-NDMP devices, NDMP in 7.2 is a pain on restores.  The 
entire saveset must be read in order to do any restore (non-DAR).   7.2.1 
promises to change this.  Hope so. 

We just started using NDMP and are on 7.2.  No experiences on former versions.

Hi Michael

Without (yet) answering your questions directly, please consider taking a look 
at the new features available in NetWorker V7.2.  There are HUGE changes 
relating to NDMP, and I think you'll like the additional options this release 
will give you.

Hope this helps!

Subject: [Networker] New EMC Celerra - want to backup via NDMP

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
