We are using the File System setup for backups and I am trying to Setup a Live Sync to replicate from a WFS cluster client over to our NetApp NDMP or WFS that we have in stalled on Commvault. I don’t see the NetApp client listed for an option in the Destination list on Live Sync like other clients do. Is there any way to get the NetApp client added to the Destination list?

Live Sync from a WFS cluster to NetApp NTFS ?

Hello
It depends on the agent you are using. WFS vs. NDMP. For NDMP you can Snapvault or SnapMirror the data from one Filer to another. For WFS you can use CDR (Continuous Data Replicator) or Disaster Recovery Replication. Ultimately you can always configure an aux copy to move the data from one set of storage to another.

Hi
You can’t turn FS data into NDMP data
It was suggested that maybe if you set up SMB shares on the Netapp it will work, but it still can’t convert to NDMP.
Let me know if you have any questions about this 🤓

If that doesn’t work would a Replication from one NAS file to another NAS filer work on a File System Setup?

Hello
I am not sure if you can use the NDMP Agent on a Windows Fileshare clsuter pseudo-client, but you cannot covert WFS data to NDMP data. This is not a Commvault limitation but an NDMP protocol limitation. There is no way to LiveSync WFS data to another Filer while simultaneously converting from WFS to NDMP.
Thank you,

+3Okay, is it possible to Live Sync a NAS filer to a NAS filer on a File System agent setup? Or is there just no way to replicate a NAS filer?
Thanks for the help,
