I have some "NAS/network shares" with different backup types (network share CIFS/NFS or NDMP).The backup copies for shares using FileSystem Agent via "Network Share" can use 3DFS and those using NDMP once cannot use 3DFS. Unfortunately, I have a requirement/need to be able to use 3DFS. How can I share backups of NDMP NAS shares via 3DFS? Am I missing something, is there a setting or do I have to live with it?

3DFS Share for a NDMP Intellisnap Backup Copy
+4Best answer by Jos Meijer
As far as I know 3DFS can be used only with NAS based on file system agent:
Quote:
"You can export the backup data as a network share from the CommCell Console. The selected Network Storage server exports the backup data as NFS and CIFS shares to the specified network clients.
The following agents support network share creation from the CommCell Console:
- UNIX file system clients
- Windows file system clients
- NAS clients for file system"
If you need additional info on how to, here is a nice explanation:

Hi
Do you mean 3dfs using Commvault mount path sharing via dataserver iP?
Where does your NDMP backups write to?
+4Hello @Jos Meijer,
that only FS Agents can support creating network shares is exactly what I found and see but need something more. The following note describes my problem and the limitation again very clearly.
NOTE: Only file system backups are currently supported by this function. Application agent backups are not.
Other agent types may be available in future releases.
+4Hello
yes, that’s what it’s all about.
My NDMP backups write to a disk library, which I wanted to create the share from.
