Re: [Veritas-bu] Linux Media Server + Win2K3 Master
Linux is not supported as an NDMP media server in 5.1, only Win2k or Solaris. If you are on 6.0, I don't know.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Linux Media Server + Win2K3 Master
On 6.0, as the DB is on the master (EMM) server, and not on the Mediaserver, I would be inclined to use the Master.Actually, I would use(and am using) the master, regardless. The only reason I wouldn't use the master, is if I was short on diskspace, and a media server had lots, and the NAS FS was large with lotsof small files. Sure NDMP is chatty, but if the drives are attached to the NAS anyway,you're still minimizing network traffic. I'm assuming you're talking about dedicated NAS attached tapedrives.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Linux Media Server + Win2K3 Master
Our NDMP is not a NAS, but a mail appliance. We're using a media server because of network config. The oddity this weekend was that we received the fastest backup ever, but I can't solidly determine from where. The NDMP appliance said only the test media server (Linux) was able to back it up. NBU said that the production Media Server (Windows) did the deed. Logs are not conclusive either. I'm also still dealing with the message Tape Media server is not active with tape zoned and visible.
