I'm trying to set up NDMP backups of our NetAPP NAS. We are running 
Networker 7.3.2 on Windows 2003 Server with 3 tape libraries attached via 
our SAN switch. The NetApp is NOT connected to the SAN - only the LAN at 
this time.

I have added the NAS nodes as clients and also added them as storage 
nodes. I've created a dedicated medias pool and pointed it to a single 
drive on Lib2. When I try to back them up I get the following: 

* pmurdenasp01:/vol/vol0/.snapshot nsrndmp_save: error, no matching 
devices for save of client `pmurdenasp01'; check storage nodes, devices or 
pools


Is this because the NAS doesn't have a connection to a tape library?

Our NAS Administrator insists that this can be done without the NAS having 
a connected library - I'm not so sure.

Any suggestions on proper implementation of NDMP backups ?

Thanks,
