The answer kind of depends on how your tape subsystem is connected. Any device controlled by a Bareos Storage Daemon can be used for performing NDMP backups so also tapes. With NDMP you just specify a paired storage which is any native storage of the Bareos storage daemon. Some installs however have their tape subsystem controlled via NDMP e.g. also connected to the NetAPP that won't work as we don't have support for controlling the tape subsystem via NDMP the Bareos Storage Daemon emulates a NDMP tape subsystem and we control that via the native Bareos SD protocol. The library that we imported has support for native NDMP tape support but the DMA (Data Management Agent) in the Bareos Director has no code to support it and its not envisioned that adding this missing piece will happen any time soon as its a lot of work with little payback. -- Marco van Wieringen [email protected] Bareos GmbH & Co.
