We use EMC Networker running on Solaris to perform NDMP backups of NetApp 3070 and 3170 to a tape library. The library is managed by Networker. The same Networker also backs up other systems. Getting it all working was a chore, but we were able to utilize the tape drives for all systems and not just the NetApp.

We also have a NetApp FAS3240. We want to be able to do NDMP backups from the NetApp to the tape drive that is attached to the backup server. Most of the configurations that we've seen show the tape drive being connected to the NetApp either by fiber channel or SCSI, but going through NetApp docs it says that it supports "storage system-to-data data-to-tape" configuration. Anyone out there using a NetApp and if so, are you backing it up to a tape drive attached to the controller or have you found a way to back it up to a tape drive attached to the backup server? -Paul ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
