Well, after further investigation, QR 2.6 which will be out sometime this month, You *will* be able to do just that....
Put the tape devices on *any* supported QR 2.6 client and then use NDMP to backup to them ... even a NetApp!

Hrm, that's not what I need either. ;-) Can they do that, butwith the tape drive attached to the UNIX host? I would like to control and stream backups from a fleet of filers via NDMP, back to a UNIX host with a tape stacker. I don't know of any software that can do that yet. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"
