Hello Jeffrey
 
We see this all the time. As far as I can tell filer A's backup will use filer 
X's tape drive when it's own tape drive are busy or unavailable.

        We've got 12 NDMP stu's with 18 NDMP clients.  The 6 non-stu hosts use
        3-way to do backups.
        
        Of the hosts with stu's we've seen an odd issue; a filer that has it's
        own stu is 3-way'ing to another filer with a stu.  This is happening in
        several places but not all.
        
        We've checked the stu configs as well as drive index's and cabling (just
        a shot in the dark).  Nothing seems out of place and the logs are not
        logging any errors with respect to this problem.
        
        Anyone seen anything like this before?
        
        Thanks.
        
        ~JK
