Hi, we have configured the zoning between a NetApp and a shared BU drive.
The we have configured the NetApp for NDMP support and the NetApp was added in BU Exec 2012 as a NDMP server (after NDMP lic activation).
When I try to create a NDMP BU, I go to the server list, I "right click" on the NetApp server then I click on "Backup". There, I can see :
- Backup to deduplication disk storage,
- Backup to deduplication disk storage and then duplicate to deduplication disk storage,
- Backup to deduplication disk storage and then, deduplication to tape,
- Backup to disk,
- Backup to disk and then duplicate to tape,
and finaly
- Backup to tape
Based on this backup offer, we tried to create a "backup to tape"
On the left column, we have selected a NetApp volume. And on the right column, via "Edit", we decide to :
- "Schedule" : create a full backup,
- "Storage" : we select the available drive
- Network ; default
- ...
- NDMP : we select "BAckup Access Control Lists" and "Enable file history"
When we realised the backup, we have had Nework backup via the BU Exec server... and not a direct backup to the drive.
Could you help me please ?
Tks

something important, the BU drive is also directly accessible from the BU Exec server.

How is the Tape drive configured. Have you added it as a NDMP device or as a normal Tape Drive.

normal tape drive because already used by BU Exec for classical BU to tape

tks but not really. I had already find those documents.
with BU Exec 2012, I haven't a possibility to choice an NDMP BU. It's in the menu (see my original request) but I don't know how to say that I want a NDMP BU in place of a B2T ...
Have you a video to help me ? I haven't find that on Internet

Yes it is one of the How-to videos for BE 2012 from the Backup Exec support page

yes but It's only to show a NetApp server. It was done.
My request is how to use a drive shared between a NDMP backup and a standard BU to tape ?
where can I select it ?

if you have an e-mail adress, I can send you few printscreens

on the storage tab, I can see all drives and tapes under the BU server but also under the NetApp stoareg name. Is it normal ? Is it due to the fact that a BU drive is shared between the BU exec server and the NetApp (NDMP) ?

...you can attach screenshots to your post.
Thanks!

Yes. The one under Netapp storage is where you should be targeting your backup to if you dont want it to travel on ethernet.

I planned a meeting with the NetApp arrays manager for tomorrow PM to valid all the config on his part. I will come back to you if possible. Tks for your intervention. Best regards

Are you using a single stand-alone tape drive? or is this tape drive part of a robotic library?
Assuming you are using a tape library, are the entire library and all tape drives visible on the FC SAN to both the BE server and the NDMP server?
