Hope you are aware that if you use NDMP, you are backing up the entrie
LUN as a single file. So you will not be able to do single file
restores, unless you restore the entire 500GB LUN to a different
location and then use iscsi to mount it... so you have to have another
500GB of space on the Netapp available for restores (for single file
restores). Using NBU client would be the better option for you, but
if you have a 2nd filer, like a nearline R200, you can snapvault the
LUN to it and use that for single file restores.

Client - Windows 2k3, Veritas 5.1MP4 - The Client has a 500GB iSCSI lun
from a NetApp.
As is, I can only backup the data on the iSCSI luns by a client on the
Win2k3 machine. I am considering NDMP, and Advanced client for backing
up iSCSI lun. That should probably work OK.
However, this would be 3-way NDMP, limited by network bandwith. Still OK?
What if I add fiber cards to the NetApp? Can I use SSO to share the
drives?
Anyone have practical experience to share?
