I was wondering if anyone out there is backing up NetApps filers using NBU 3.4 without a direct connection to the libraries??
 
You can back the device up by making it a share in a server. So in other words backing up, say, Drive N: on ServerA would actually be the NetApp box shared. The problem with this is we have seen very poor performance doing this. A lot depends on the utilization on the NetApp box, on the server, and the network connection between the NetApp, the server, and the Media Server.

Does that make sense?
