I don't have a link to the actual guide, but here's one to the rebadged
Sun StorEdge Enterprise Backup 7.2. It is similar to my local copy of
the release notes for EMC Networker 7.2.1.
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/pdf/819-0288-10.pdf
The table on page 64 suggests that the 10,240 file limitation is only
for OnTAP versions earlier than 6.4.
I do not have an environment that I can test that figure. I'm just
going off the documentation.
