All,
Need some advice about different between NDMP & Path To Tape?
What I know is both of it move the data via SAN directly to tape.
Thanks

Are you referring to Quantum DXi Path to Tape fuctionality?
This funtion is also know as NDMP DirectCopy.
See if this series of HOWTO docs help:

Thanks for the reply.
For now I just want to know about ndmp & ptt solution, so there's no real environment.
So PTT and NDMP Direct Copy, from data flow is same right? Because its move direct from NDMP device to tape.
But when do NDMP Direct Copy, what is sent to the tape?
Is it the backup image or the real data that sent to the tape?
In above, you both mention PTT is from OST to VTL. But can PTT is configured from VTL to physical tape? Not just OST to VTL/physical tape.
Thanks
