as we have it setup, we have budtool driving a 16dlt jukebox. the jukebox
has 2 drives.. one attached to the sun running budtool and one directly to
the netapp. budtool worries about getting the right tape in the drive,
then tells the netapp to blast its data to it. thus the netapp using ndmp
doesn't really have to care what tape is in the drive, that is budtool's
problem. it works very nicely.
