Hi,
I am looking for a person who has done NDMP backup of NetApp
filer having standalone tape drive using Veritas Netbackup 3.4. i am
trying to do NDMP backup of NetApp filer using Netbackup Data Center
3.4 . There is one DLT StandAlone tape drive attached to NetApp
filer.Whenever i am trying to do backup. i am getting message
"mounting media" in job monitor window but it keeps on hanging over
there.
Please let me know if someone can give me some pointers on it
Thanks
Vikas
