Thats funny because I was just told by Veritas that this is a decent way of backing up ? Of course NDMP will be faster, but with the Solaris Vertias client / NFS its much cheaper (ie: no NDMP license needed).

Subject: Veritas Netbackup Database

Has anyone placed the Veritas Netbackup database on an NFS mounted file system?

More specifically on a netapp?

I was just told by Veritas that they do not recommend doing this because NFS is unreliable.

Any feedback would be helpful.
