Yes – with 6.x, IIRC, you can share a drive between NDMP and non-NDMP.  I think it started with 6.0, but I’m not sure.  It’s there in 6.5 for certain.

We are running NB 5.1 on a Windows master and have 2 drive in an autoloader. One drive is defined as an NDMP drive the other is a normal media drive. Can I make an NDMP storage unit and point to the non-NDMP drive to do backup to it? 


With 5.x, tape drives are NDMP or not - I'm pretty sure they can't be both.
 

Would the situation be any different if I upgraded to 6.5?


I believe that this is finally supported in the current release.
