Setting Up the Dell DR Series System as an RDA or VTL Backup Target for Dell NetVault Backup
NOTE: Except for the NetVault Backup file system plug-in, all the other plug-ins are 32- bit binaries on
Windows (64-bit or 32-bit versions). There is a known issue because of which optimized back-ups with 32
bit plug-ins provide less performance than passthrough back-ups. It is recommended to keep the default
that the DR Series system chooses to use rather than forcing the mode to be optimized even if the client has
more power. A NetVault Backup client running on a 64-bit Linux machine has 64-bit plugins.
