Backup to Media Manager storage units (remote NDMP)

With this backup method, the data travels over the network by going from an NDMP host to a Media Manager-type storage device that is attached to a NetBackup media server or is available on the SAN. The NetBackup drives must be in Media Manager storage units not in NDMP storage units.

The following figure shows an example of an NDMP backup to a Media Manager device (remote NDMP).
