Hello;

I thought we were the only people on the planet using NDMP. Without knowing
what version of Tivoli/OS/OnTap you are using; TSM v5.2.0.2 supports file
level backup/restore. You have to use a table of contents. This info is
available in the ITSM Administrators Guide v5.2 (chapter 6). Hope this
helps.

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.
