Out Netapp backup experience is with Legato, not Veritas yet, but I think the 
idea is the same. 

The group that we backup the Netapp for set us up a simple machine like an 
Ultra 1 or Ultra 10. They used that to NFS mount the Netapp and we then backup 
the Sun server as a client and cross mount points to back up the Netapp data. 
There probably is another way, but this way works for us...

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing up a NetApp


Good news here - a request for a NetApp F810 has just been approved.  Now 
I need to be ready to back it up.  We are running NBU 3.4 on Win2K (one 
server is both master and media server).  This backup server is also 
hosting shared files and therefore is backing up local drives (we have a 
fairly small office).  How do I re-config to back up the remote NetApp 
share?  My understanding is that I cannot run anything on the NetApp, like 
say a NBU client, so how do I back it up?  Can I just map a local drive 
letter to the share and enable 'cross mount points'?  Backup right from 
the UNC path?

I suppose your first thought is RTFM.  I'll be doing that tomorrow, just 
thought I'd fire off a preliminary mail to see how others are handling 
NetApps specifically.
