I've got a Sun Storage 7000 that I'd like to backup/restore via the built-in NDMP service, since we've got an secondary SAN attached which is available via two 10GbE links to the primary storage I'd like to deploy it as a VTL solution. The secondary storage could easily be expanded with a SCSI HBA connected to a (small) 28 slot library providing two LTO4 drives. It seems that currently no FOSS backup app is able to be used as a NDMP VTL (with copy to physical tape) solution. Any low cost solutions?

Have a look at ndmpjob. I have no direct experience with it but it looks like it does everything you'd want with NDMP.

And it's free, source included.

ndmpjobseems to be way to basic for what I'd like to do. Just because I said it should be a low cost solution doesn't mean that I'm not ready to spend a few bucks here and there. – pfo Jan 5 '10 at 17:03
Well, a little script-foo here and there would make it usable. My direct experience is with netbackup, and that'll run you a bit more than free + time spent on scripting/testing. I'm not sure if there are any "low-cost" ndmp, only big $$$ and free. – chris Jan 5 '10 at 18:29
