According to Symantec, the fastest way to backup NAS devices is use mount
volumes and run the backup to a deduplication device WITH accelerator
enabled.
If you do not want to use accelerator, then NDMP is the next faster way to
backup NAS.

Unfortunately I haven't try it yet.

Tom,

Thanks. Interesting.  That is a horrible way to backup volumes.  That was
the solution before NDMP. CommVault suggested the same thing.  EMC has a
hardware solution that they say gets good Dedupe rates with inline NDMP
stream backups with an incremental forever strategy.  I wanted to see if the
Netbackup Accelerator offers similar features.

Per conversations with engineering, ndmp does not dedupe well.  It was
suggested that we mount the volumes to a media server and run it to a dedupe
pool.  Ymmv

Cheers,
