Hi to all, perhaps this has been asked before but...
I cannot find any specific documentation about how to use a direct attached tape drive in a client to use for that client backups, I have read the SAN client documentation but it is all about to use a the SAN as transport.
We have some big Windows file servers and some big Oracle databases and we want to know if we can share a tape library between hosts, we also have some unix servers with internal direct attached tape drives.
Do I have to promote the clients to media servers to uses thoses direct attached or SAN mapped tapes/libraries?
Maybe I missed something on the documentation...
Right now we are using LAN based backup for all our clients, using 2 media servers.
We are using NB 7.6
Thanks.
