It’s possible using 3-way NDMP …search EMC support matrix for supported backup applications.

I do this every day (NDMP over IP/also known as 3-way NDMP) - Symantec BackupExec 12

In the past when I was a consultant I set this up with Networker for one of my clients - you need a new EMC engineer

You'll definitely need an NDMP license for whatever backup software you are using - review the EMC docs from the previous post as well as the NDMP-specific docs for your backup software.

yes its certainly possible and used quite frequently

the Celerra data mover then sends the NMDP backup stream over TCP/IP to a device that has a directly attached tape drive or library.

typically this is a backup server with the (sometimes) necessary license - most of the major backup applications have this implemented.

or a special device like Dinostor or a module for a Quantum tape library

In EMC terms this is called heterogenous 3-way NDMP - some others call it remote NDMP

P.S.: this is *NOT* ISCSI to the tape

Hi OnlySandy,

looks like the question is answered, could you mark it as Answered when you get a chance?  or if you have further questions please let us know.

thanks,

Kevin.

hi

May I know which backup application you are using to back this?

heterogeneous 3-way NDMP backup is supported with almost a dozen backup packages

Atempo, BackBone, CommVault, DinoStor, EMC Avamar, EMC Networker, IBM TSM, NEC Networker, Quantum, Symanted Backup Exec, Symantec NetBackup

details are in the NAS support matrix

Its at use at quite a number of customers
