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).

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.
