Our backup strategy is currently to back up over NFS to a Sun server running Veritas Netbackup with a DLT tape jukebox on it. It works but it not ideal. We are probably going to buy a couple more jukeboxes, hang them off the F740s and use NDMP to do backups. My only concern is that I've heard rumblings in this mail list that NDMP has a few problems.

Short answer: Look into Veritas Netbackup.

Greetings,

My company purchase the Net Apps F720 series. Nevertheless, they have not used it because the SA's are having problems finding a backup Application that support Net Apps hardware.

I heard Legato was planning to release the Net Apps Module, but the schedule slipped so they will not be releasing it anytime soon.

If you have a Net Apps F720, and have a backup solutions. I would greatly appreciate assistance.

Thanks,
