Hi Ed

Yes I know .. the upgrade will need to wait a little longer.

I'm not trying to share the drive between normal backups and NDMP backups.

The drive attached to the NAS is doing backups now. I want to split the
volumes into separate policies
because of the size of the volumes and configure another drive to backup the
other volumes.
How can I configure the 2nd drive to run NDMP backups for the policy created
for the other volumes?
I thought there is a way I can change the drive path using tpconfig to
backup the nas.
Will I need to authenticate the Master server with the filer to use this 2nd
drive which is directly attached to the Master (1st drive attached directly
to the nas)?

Goal  - 2 drives backing up multiple NDMP policies

I know the upgrade is needed but that is out of my control at the moment.
Any suggestions?

Thanks
Todd
