Catalog backup to disk (nfs share from Data Domain)

[nairaj]

We have catalog backup going fine going to the tape on our 7.5.0.4 master server. In order to have a simultaneous copy, we have created an nfs share on our Data Domain and mounted in one of the media servers. Created a disk storage unit on that media server and added the enabled the multiple copy option for Catalog backup.

While running the backup it fails with error 800,

 - Error nbjm(pid=5901) NBU status: 800, EMM status: Media server mismatch    
resource request failed(800)

My question is, do we need to have the disk storage unit created on the master server itself ?

Thank you guys.

The storage units must be on the same media server to use multiple copies.

What you could do is create an SLP  to backup to disk first. After that it can duplicate to tape.

You are absolutely right.
