The alternative to this configuration is to do 'Remote NDMP backups'
This is where the NAS box doesn't have access to the tape drives, but
your media server does. Since in your case you have a SCSI-attached
library this is the method you would have to use. This means all the
NDMP traffic would go across the wire from your NAS -> Media Server.

See page 9 of the NDMP admin guide for a picture and it also contains
all the configuration information you'll need.

NDMP works like this (typically)


                    ---------------------------> ROBOT CONTROLLER
                   /
NetBackup Server <-> network <-> NDMP_DEVICE <-> TAPE_1
                                             \
                                              <-> TAPE_2

The NetBackup server 'sees' the drives through the NDMP device.

Make sense?

Justin.
