Kim,

We're facing the same thing right now, be aware that there are issues with
ACL's when backing up over shares-our tests show that they are not saved
with the file, so they will have to be reset when restored.  Also,
performance is lousy-again, we're seeing transfer rates of 1 - 2mb/sec.

                Subject:        [Veritas-bu] Sharing library between NT and
UNIX media servers
                Importance:     High

                Are there any issues we need to be aware of when sharing a
Storage Tek 9740
                with an NT media server? 

                We are currently using a Sun E450 as the master/media
server. We have a
                Network Appliance attached to two of the DLT drives on the
9740, using NDMP
                for backups (BIG MISTAKE!!!). We would like to move the
NetApp backups to an
                NT media server, and LOSE NDMP forever! The NT media server
would then mount
                NetApp shares over the network, and backup the NT media
server drives as if
                they are local drives. Of course, this means network
traffic, but never mind
                that. Anything is better than NDMP. Bottom line - we need to
move the two
                DLT drives off of the NAS, and put them on an NT device. Any
control issues?
                Sharing library problems? Other info - NBU 3.2, NT 4.0,
Solaris 2.6...

                Any and all comments welcome and appreciated!!

                Kim
