Hi Matthew,
When we installed TSM with NDMP we had the same problem with our NetApp
filer.
It seems that NDMP as it is now doesn't support backup at qtree or share
level.
I asked both IBM and Network Appliance and a vague answer came back from
NetApp that they talked to IBM and soon (???) this feature will be included
in TSM NDMP.
I've heard nothing from IBM though.
The situation stands as it is. NDMP backs up at volume level only.

Subject: NDMP Backups : How do I do directory level backups


Hi all, I am a little new to TSM, but learning fast.

Anyway I want to be able to split up the NDMP backups on the NetApp filer we
have into smaller chunks. My aim is to do backups at the qtree level eg
/vol/vol1/qtree1. This way I can reduce the impact on re-running a failed
backup if something goes wrong with the tape drive.

However from what I can see TSM will only backup at the node or volume
level.
