Hello

I was told that with nbu 4.5 fp3 that directory restores could not be
handled with the DAR code when doing ndmp restores with netapp nas clients.
So a slow restore with a directory is normal  as the restore passes over the
whole ndmp backup dataset.
I was told that veritas was working on a fix for the feature.
