Hi,

I have a NS480 and on the NAS portion of the system, I have setup multiple CIFS shares.

I am currently backing these locations up through NetBackup by using a UNC path from the master and media NetBackup servers.

However, I am wanting to get better performance from the backups so they are not running all day on the weekend.

What is the best way to implement NDMP backups? Is there a better alternative than NDMP?

The documentation I have read from Symantec makes it seem like it can be implemented in a way that the jobs are run over the LAN or over the SAN.

I would prefer to stick to the LAN because I do not have petabytes of data to backup.

I have NetBackup 6.5.5 on both my master and media servers.

Thanks,

Mike
