This paper provides detailed information about how to set up a Dell

DR Series Disk Backup Appliance as a

target for NetVault

nVTL software. In this configuration, NetVault nVTL is configured for target object

store use for data protection operations. This use case with nVTL requires more factoring with out-of-

band maintenance and forethought as the space would need to be preformatted and properly managed

for use. The primary advantage is that due to its simple approach, NetVault Backup Native Virtual Tape

Library (nVTL) DR4X00 replication support is achievable using this method.

See Figure 1 below which illustrates the DR4X00-NetVault nVTL baseline Scenario.
