If you have NDMP  and DSN clients  using same tape library , Legato says
technically it is possible but
not recommended .

If you have N drives then you should allocate some drives to NDMP and should
take DDS license for remaining drives only .

Another very important thing I leart today from Legato , you people must
already know about this .

If you want to restore NDMP files then you need NAS device only .
That too you should have same type of NAS you can not restore Netapps NAS
data to EMC NAS or vice versa . Because NDMP format used by each NAS is
different .

It seems this is true with Veritas Netbackup as well .  Can somebody confirm
that this is true regardless of Legato or Netbackup ?

If you take NAS in Prod site then you need NAS in DRC site as well ,
otherwise you can not restore data .

Is there any other workaround so that we can avoid purchasing NAS in DRC  ?

We have no ndmp installation so far.

The NetWorker gui in general is not very userfriendly. I don't know when
Legato rewrites the gui part.

I have set the permissions correct. The data has been restored, but over
source server(the machine that did the backup) and not directly(via DDS)
to the server requesting the restore.
