Dear W,

Thanks for the reply. i'm on a steep learning curb with NDMP. i followed 
these instructions which were provided by another adsm-l member.

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.itsm.srv.doc%2Ft_ndmp_nas_file_srvs_backup_restore.html

Performing NDMP filer to Tivoli Storage Manager server backups
You can back up data to a single Tivoli Storage Manager server rather 
than attaching a tape library to each NAS device.

on step 3.

register node nas1 nas1 type=nas domain=standard
define datamover nas1 type=nas hla=nas1 user=root password=***** 
dataformat=netappdump

i get

ANR9999D_2854923275 spiOutMsg(ndmpspi.c:1271) Thread<227>: NDMP Server 
does not support Token Base Incremental Backup.

i found this in the archives when searching for this error:

"BlueARC support pointed me in the right direction.
`ndmp-option -d tokens on`, followed by an NDMP service restart on the
NAS made backups work.  Now to figure out the rest of the NDMP voodoo.."


it's an old posting, but hnas is using BlueARC's ndmp and i have the 
hnas docs and console access, so i'll follow this lead and see were it 
takes me..

if anyone else has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks.
