Although drive sharing is on the v6.0 feature list, according to both
Symantec & Netapp, it doesn't work yet.

Version 6 can share drives between NDMP and non-NDMP, but you say the 
drives are 'directly connected' to the NetApp.  If they are SAN-attached 
and using the NetApp HBA for tape, then you can also zone an HBA on e.g. 
the Master server to the same drives...according to the theory.  That 
could then back up the windows clients.

If the SL500 is SCSI-attached to the NetApp then I don't think you can do 
it.

[Veritas-bu] Can we use NDMP storage unit to backup regular windows 
clients?






We have a master server that connects to a SL500 robot. The drives in
the SL500 library are all directly conencted to a Netapp. We have been
using this to backup the netapp over NDMP. So far so good. Can this
setup be extended to backup widows clients? We are running version 6
of NBU. We want to avoid buying an additional LTO-2 drive.
Thanks
