Thanks for your reply.

My backup software (Symantec) is behaving mad. I want to isolate the problem. So that i can be sure that there is commucation between Cellera and Tape Library .

Hi

I appreciate your help . Could please extend your help by leting me know the exact command for backup  .

Thanks in advance.

fair enough, make sure to use tape library robot to manually load the tape in the drive

you can use server_achive command to write to a tape device but what is that going to give you ? Without any backup software you don't have a catalog of what you are backing up so how will you know what you need to restore ?

this document should have a couple of examples

Using the Celerra server_archive Utility  6.0 A01

use a scratch tape ..you don't want to write on top of tape being used by Backup Exec/Netbackup ..but you knew that already

Well - Server_archive isnt the same as a NDMP backup and it is rarely used

Hi

I am thankful to you big time. I also tried "Live Chat " for this very issue , twice i got the response that "Pushing backup from Celerra to Tape is not possible without BACKUP software". ;-)

I will test backup using tech guide given by you. I have high regards for your support and experties.
