One problem however is that you still need SnapImage to recover data
backed up with SnapImage. This is a major problem if you have
backed up
data with a long retention period (in our case, one year). So you
need to
have a drive configured as an NDMP device if you want to be able to
recover that data. This issue has been verified with EMC/Legato tech
support.
Fortunately, for my environment, that's not a major issue. I have one
small server (50GB) that gets backed up via SnapImage that has a 3
month retention period. The other six NDMP servers here have only a
one week retention period. Assuming my testing of this non-SnapImage
backup works, I will get convert 3 of our 4 allocated NDMP devices to
non-NDMP shortly and then convert the forth NDMP device to non-NDMP
in three months after the last of our NDMP data exceeds its retention
period.
