Backup NAS Proxy by NDMP

Question

Hi everyone. I am trying to do the next: I have a unity 300 in my main CPD that we will call it CPD1, then, I have other unity 300 in CPD2. Unity from CPD2 has a NAS server where a department from the company stores their files there. This NAS is replicated against CPD1. I would like to do a backup from the repicated NAS in the destination (CPD1) using the NDMP protocol in order to backup it to a robotic library.   I created a NAS proxy in destination (CPD1) and enabled NDMP. I am using backup exec, and I am able to add the NDMP server, however, I am not able to list the NAS and I can't choose what filesever to backup.   Is it supported to backup from replication destination by NDMP? If yes, how can I do it? edit: I tried to create an interface of Backup and DR test and enable NDMP in the replicated NAS destination directly. Then I add in backup exec the NDMP server using that new IP address interface but I get the same problem.    Thanks in advance.

NDMP of a proxy NAS server currently isnt possible NDMP backup of a NAS server in destination mode works if you have a working DR/backup interface there. I am not familiar with Backup Exec details - if browing the file systems doesnt work it should be able to add the file systems manually by providing the path

You are completely right. In order to achieve what I wanted to do, I enabled in the destination NAS a Backup/DR interface and enabled NDMP.   Everything worked like a charm.    Thanks for answering.
