Hi,
We are using NETWORKER NDMP (NETWORKER UNIX 6.1.1, DATAONTAP 6.1.2R1) to backup mirrored volume, and it works with some limitation :
Backup must be done on a snapshot for the mirrored volume, so you need to plan mirroring and backup to have an understandable backup process.
Our configuration is made of 2 main filers mirroring one each other. By this backup method we get very good performance, and we need only one license (only one filer has a tape library connected). Restore process is a little bit complex, because you need to use relocate option of NETWORKER, but it works. There is also a limitation/bug in NETWORKER restore that make browse time difficult to use (in NDMP context).
We choosed NDMP because it is the only way to reduce backup time. _____________________________________________ SIEMENS V D O Siemens VDO Automotive SAS
