Configuring NDMP DirectCopy
Use the following procedure to configure NDMP DirectCopy from the backups that were made to a VTL.
To configure NDMP DirectCopy from the backups that were made to a VTL
- Configure the VTL as an NDMP host. You can do it from he web UI, Storage > Tape storage.
- Authorize NetBackup access to the VTL. Note that the VTL emulates an NDMP host.
- Configure the VTL as a robot, then configure one or more tape drives in a Media Manager storage unit.
- Configure one or more tape drives in the VTL as Network Attached Storage devices, and create one or more NDMP storage units for the drives.
The drives can be the same as those that were selected in the previous step. NetBackup supports sharing of drives among media servers and NDMP hosts.
- Configure one or more NDMP tape drives in the physical tape library, and add the drives to NDMP storage units. Use the same procedures as those mentioned in the previous step.
You can also use these drives in Media Manager storage units, if they are shared on a SAN.
