NDMP in general.  It's not the storage pool situation that bothers me.  I
actually prefer the native, lan-free arrangement.  It is much faster than
going over IP.

It's the fact you have to do the old unix-style level-0, level1 backups
compared to the typical TSM incremental-forever.

Shawn

Re: [ADSM-L] Tough questions for Netapp representatives






Are you referring to the older version of NDMP, or the "Filer-to-Server"
capability that was added with TSM 5.4?  This allows you (I believe) to
store the NDMP data in normal TSM storage pools, rather than sending
directly to a NAS-attached tape library.
