I currently back up one large NDMP saveset which is the entire NetApp server.  
However, I have recently seen the following message at the end of the savegrp 
completion email and I think maybe too many small files.
"client:/vol/vol1 Error removing temporary FH index directory: File exists"

So my plan is to split /vol/vol1 into two savesets and keep them in the same 
backup group (so that one will be done immediately after the other).

If I set up an NDMP backup group with two large savesets, and I only have one 
NDMP tape device available, will the second saveset fail due to a time out 
while waiting for the first saveset to finish?  A full backup normally takes 28 
hours.
