Don,

Netbackup 3.4 on solaris says not.

04/03/2002 16:14:17 netback dtoal1 backup of client dtoal1 exited with status 154 (storage unit characteristics mismatched to request)

Speaking of netapp backups with netbackup, I've been trying to figure out why a dlt7000 fails to unload a tape, occasionally. Anyone else seen this? No symptoms, no errors logged, but the next backup of the netapp fails because "storage unit is unavailable".

With netbackup, is it possible to backup a unix system (eg: solaris) to a tape device which is direct connected to the netapp?

What I'm trying to do is to connect a DLT7000 to a netapp F740. Using netbackup I want to backup the netapp but also backup sun machines that reside elsewhere on the network.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
