I'm not trying to be flippant, but read the documentation. We're just now 
getting our feet wet with disk backups and staging, and there are indeed 
many questions. But there's no substitute for reading the Networker docs, 
as somewhat fragmented as as they are, IMO. I realize 1000+ pages of admin 
guide is no small read, but it's in there. Check out chapters 3, 10 and 11 
in particular.

What you're asking would be well beyond just a simple answer here on the 
list, IMO (but maybe I'm just dense :-). There are a number of steps, from 
creating your file device(s), disk pool/volumes, stage pool, stage policy, 
etc., etc. Just too many to go into detail here, since they're all covered 
in the docs, in one location or another. Usually my biggest challenge has 
been finding all the separate sections to read before I get the 
process(es) down, since EMC/Legato has never been too interested in 
recipe-style docs (i.e., "to do task X, here are the 47 steps from start 
to finish").

But, I got disk backups running (in a test environment) and my driver's 
license doesn't read "A. Einstein", so it can be done.  :-)
