Ah, I see now. I was thinking local NDMP backups, not NDMP direct copy.
That's sort of a new feature. I don't actually know anyone using it.
Last time I looked at it, you had to have a special VTL that supported
it. Do you know that your unit supports it?

That part seems straightforward. Configure it as a normal (physical)
robot, and configure a media manager STU for it.

So set it up as an NDMP STU as well.

And set up the PTL drives in the NDMP STU. Appears you've done that as
well.
What happens when you Dup? You're not on 6.5.4 are you?
