I have on an HP-UX 11.31 RISC server a DAT/DDS tape drive, and all of my backups are done through the fbackup command on this device. All is working fine, but recently someone told me about the availability of some hard drive space on a NAS available in our network.

fbackup has the ability to write to a file on disk. Instead of specifying a tape device (for example - 'fbackup -f /dev/rmt/0m') you can specify a disk device (for example - 'fbackup -f /backup/dir/20130423.fbackup' ).

Anyway, I've readed elsewhere ( -with-NFS/m-p/2552158/highlight/true#M4645) that a direct backup with fbackup to a NFS share is NOT suggested, for performance and security reasons. In this old discussion was suggested to use the remote magtape capability of "fbackup", but I think it is not my case since there is no HP-UX capabilities on the NFS server (it is a non-HP NAS).
