Hello,
Is it possible make backup of netapp ndmp volumes to disk? My idea is eliminate my tape library and do the backups to disk pool.
Regards.

You CAN backup NDMP data to ANY desired destination, but you must be aware of the performance. The most efficient way to do an NDMP backup of a NetApp is with a tape library that the NetApp can send the data to directly (without the data going through the BE server). By backing up to disk, all the data will flow from the NetApp to the BE server to the target disk. This will likely drop performance and increase the load on the BE server. But it should work OK.
