NetVault Backup uses SmartClients to give you the freedom to attach storage wherever
you like. By using SmartClients, both virtual and physical tape libraries can be easily
distributed through the backup environment so that backup data does not have to
pass over the network and through the NetVault Backup Server to be written to a tape-
based device. You will need a license for each SmartClient that will have locally attached
physical or virtual tape devices.
On the machine that the VTL will be attached to, you must make the NetVault Backup
Process Manager Service (nvpmgr) use the login user name and password that you
intend use to connect to the DR Series appliance. As this is the process that will control
the connection mechanism, it needs to run as the same user that has access to the
CIFS share on the DR Series appliance. This is configured via the services panel on the
machine connecting to the VTL.

prompt or the Windows
